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.

    Report 29 June

    Posted on 29 June 2014 by DirkJan

    Report of 29 of June
    By Benno and Thecla

    Departure from Guayaquil. We find our way through the whole city by asking the way.
    Even enthusiastic locals drive before us and show us our way out of the city.

    When we on the outskirts of the city we get surprised by the green nature, but it’s a shame that there is also so many plastic rubbish, which is hanging in the trees.
    Suddenly stops the Model T on the side of the road. Dirk has heard an worrying sound and is afraid that …So first a ride with Benno who can hear also the sound.
    Benno thinks the sound isn’t coming from the just ready bearing cap, but thinks it comes by a combination of low octane of the petrol, high surrounding temperature with gives a much higher temperature of the motor. The well known haggle.
    Benno can Dirk only a little bit reassure.
    We drive quiet on along a lot of different plantations with a lot of different sorts of fruit.
    The T gets a lot of attention all the way, especially from the police who lets us stop so they can make pictures.
