A charity tour for orphan children

Trudy and Dirk Regter from the Netherlands go on a world tour in a 1915 Ford Model T, covering all continents of the world. They are making this trip with the aim of raising money for orphans worldwide.

To date, they have driven 64,000 miles across 31 countries and have raised more than $45,000 spent on children's projects in Colombia and Bolivia. An earlier trip by Dirk in 2007 from Beijing to Paris in the Model T raised more than $140,000, of which 2 children's projects were built in Mongolia. The last part of their world tour,about 10,500 miles, takes them back home to the Netherlands via Asia. If you support the purpose of this journey, you can take ownership of some of these 10,500 miles of this final leg.

Buy your miles and thus contribute to a better future for orphans.

Today we drove from Debre Marko to Gohatsion a distance of 117 km. the ride was exciting because we had to descend 2000 meters over a very bad road. Before we went down we suddenly found ourselves in the clouds where we could see only five meters in front of us.

After that we had to ascent 2000 meters and that was to steep for the T-Ford, so we decided to tow the old car up the mountain.
