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.

Rain, rain, rain. This time we do not have to leave on time so we can lie down and listen to the rain on the roof of the roof tent. I work on the reports in the building of the campsite, two German girls are curious about it. In the tent we try to keep it a little cozy, but it is no big fun.

We have an appointment today with Brian and Marian McConachie in Dunedin. When we call them they invite us to stay overnight in their house. What a luck. We drive back through a rainy Portobello. The road along the water is beautiful but the rain spoils everything. Arrived at their house the Ford refuses. Exactly at the right time. The spring of the bendix is broken. Brian has a nice workshop where the spring can be replaced.
