Weekly update 45/26 Engels

On Wednesday, November 4, we were unable to load a trailer because we did not have enough varied cargo available. We have since managed to do so, and we can load this coming Wednesday.

We received many beautiful items for the Christmas packages and have been busy sorting them. In addition, a trailer and a box truck were on their way to pick up goods.

In the evening, we enjoyed a pleasant gathering with our regular volunteers at a local café-restaurant. After all, you can't always be working hard.

Csaba and Imola shared photos of the receipt and distribution of goods from the depot in Breaza.

This time, also a report from Elena from Urmenis. Elena is a social worker in this municipality and she also helps the people there with goods from the depot in Breaza.

Viorel sent a beautiful photo report with a brief explanation about the arrival of a trailer with relief supplies from Broek op Langedijk, the usual activities, and a visit to a children's hospital.

Marin and Enico put together packages and distributed them. In addition, they cooked for the children. Work also continued on the construction of the small house for the family that had become homeless.

Tóth Attila from Periș sent photos of a distribution drive. His brief explanation speaks for itself and applies to many: the cold has set in and makes life even harder for poor families and their children. Consequently, the importance of our transports only increases.

Any from Ernea sent photos of the meals that were provided to children. Henk Muller is currently staying in Pakistan.

Unfortunately, placing the residential container for the family whose home collapsed is proving difficult. The family can only take shelter under a few wooden planks. The container is ready, but the location is inaccessible to a truck. The access route is too steep and has become too slippery due to the recent rainfall. However harrowing the situation is, we must wait for drier weather. Józsi does not mention the conditions under which the family is currently living.

On Wednesday, November 11, we will load a trailer for Marghita. Additionally, we are clearing space for the Christmas hamper campaign on November 19 and 20. This coming Thursday, we will receive goods from Aldi in Heerhugowaard, which we will immediately place in the correct locations as much as possible. The box warehouse in Barneveld is also delivering 5,700 empty boxes.

In short, there is more than enough work to do in the coming weeks.
