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 25 February
By Steef

Around half past nine we are expected to be at a meeting point near our campsite. A tour ride has been organized. We meet a number of old acquaintances. Including Kathryn from Christchurch, she rides with Dirk and Trudy. The ride goes through the suburbs and industrial districts of Ashburton. At lunchtime we drive to the estate of Donald and Carol Williamson. Here large white tables are prepared with coffee, tea and all kinds of delicious cakes. The owner talks about the origins of the estate and invites Dirk to take a ride on his Benz 1887.
The next stop is Bruce Mc Ilroy’s garage. There you bring your Bentley or Rolls Roys for a maintenance break.
Here is a photo report of this day.
