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.

Report of 27th June
Report by Thecla and Benno

The final touch had to be done on the cap before we assemble the cap. The crankcase gets closed; oil is getting on the right level, before we assemble the cap at all.
A few times later the Model T runs and sounds well. David gets the first ride.
We collect all the tools and other stuff we used and then finally, we drive back to the campsite. Trudy provides us again with a magic meal, which tasted delicious. The whole evening we stay on the campsite next to the campfire, with on the background the noises of the jungle.
