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 our target was to get the ferry to Greece. This was also the first day of our new support team Joke en Ben.
We learned them the secrets of getting all the stuff together and how to put it in the Landrover They were amazed how many tools, camping stuff and spare parts find there place in the car.
After a beautiful, very hot trip to Brindisi we reached in time the ferry to Greece.
De verscheping naar Egypte is dus toch gelukt? Scheelt een hoop gedoe en tijd.
Dirk en Trudy : Trudy allereerst van harte gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag ,En hopen nog vele gezonde jaren.Ook Dirk van harte gefeliciteerd.Dirk, het houd me wel bezig waarom je fordje telkens warm word en zeker als ik hier naar buiten kijk.Gezien de ervaring die wij hebben in Frankrijk lijkt me dat twee dingen een mogelijke oorzaak kunnen zijn: en dat is gewicht en snelheid , maar dat kan jij daar beter beoordelen .We blijven jullie volgen.!
