Ongelofelijk Cristi is met al de kinderen in Oostenrijk

Mini  Guide to a Holiday Abroad How many families can afford a holiday? Not many. Holidays are expensive. A holiday abroad is even more expensive.  It takes 2 parents both with jobs and good jobs and then they can take the children out for a week somewhere. They need to save money a whole year and put aside a good budget for a family holiday. If the trip is out of the country the effort is even bigger. So most of the holidays are in the country and short.  1 week seems like a good time to relax and 2 weeks is a luxury.  I know families who can afford only a weekend in a cheap camping and that is it. I know families who never went on holiday. They can not afford any.  The longer the holiday the more expensive it is, the further the place to go  the more expensive is the trip, the bigger the family the more expensive are the costs.  So my conclusion are these:  1. go away only for a weekend or even better 2 night in the week time as prices are cheaper 2. go as close as possible to your house, 2 hours drive max.  3. do not take the children. :-) What if you have 20 children to take care and  for the past 7 years they never been on a holiday? What if someone would come up and said we can help you take the 20 children on a holiday. What we have this year?  1. Is the holiday long?   2 full weeks, everyday full with events. 2. Is the holiday far?   Austria. 1380 km away from us.  3. We have taken all our 20 children.  A church from Austria invited all of our children and the staff to go for 2 a weeks holiday. So there are 26 of us in total and we are going on our longest trip and furthest trip ever. Never expected this. We used to dream of a short and close holiday but never like this.  We find no reason why such a blessing came upon us. God spoils His children sometimes just because He likes to do so. So this time we are His spoiled ones and we can not thank Him enough.  We will have a great time with friends in Austria and will keep you informed and send you pictures, just pray for us.   Thanks so much for all your support, Cristi

Cristi uit Botosani stuurde weer een bericht over zijn activiteiten

Hello Mr. Maarten,


 Yesterday I went to the second container to see the family there. They are fine and happy.

I was pleased to see that they did take care of the container and they use it and is a great blessing for them. I took them some biscuits and some pampers as you can see in the pictures and they were really happy. The husband of the girl is gone to work in the south of the country to work on some farms and this is really good of them.

 The old man still has pain in his back and he did not go to the doctor.  As you can see the small children grow up and they are nice and healthy.

 In the back of the broken house they have planted some vegetables and that helps them with the food.

So all in one. This is a nice project and please extend the thank you to your team of volunteers who did this amassing work for this family. If you and your team did not help I do not  want to imagine how hard would have been for them.

So thank you to all of you from the family direct and from us too.

Het nieuwe huis van Elena

Na afgelopen donderdag de nodige voorbereidingen te hebben getroffen zijn zaterdag de kantoorunits die we hebben gekregen van Voedselbank Amsterdam naar Broek op Langedijk gebracht. Vooral omdat ze 3,20 meter breed zijn een lastige klus het is gelukkig probleemloos verlopen.

hier nog een paar foto's

We kunnen nu het transport gaan regelen naar Urmenis in Roemenië,

In Botsani zijn ze weer blij met de spullen (transport nr 21 in 2014 naar Roemenie)

Dear Mr. Maarten ,


 Yesterday the truck arrived around noon time.  I did not expect them so early in the day. But it was great that we had a whole afternoon to unload. So we started. We stoped many times because of the rain, but in the end we finished it and it was great.

Just want to say thank you for the load you have sent. I would say thank you for a specific item, but because I am thankful for all we received I would say THANK YOU for all the load.

Sultana are great, pampers are great, wheelchairs are also in demand, chairs,clothes, medical staff, all these are great and will help a lot of people. 

As usual we will post on Picassa the pictures and the people who will receive it. Biscuits are great for our children and in August we plan to have another action with poor children in Casa Ioana with maybe 60 children . So we will use a lot of biscuits for 60 children for 5 days.

 Thank you so much to your whole team because you help people in need in our area.

Yours, Cristi

Cristi heeft van iemand kippen gekregen, omdat hijzelf geen goede plek meer heeft om ze te laten opgroeien en ook omdat een paar keer zijn gestolen heeft hij ze elders ondergebracht. De zakken meel en havermout die wij gebracht hebben gaan hier dus naar toe, zie verder bijgaande foto's.

Het schooltje in Getz

Het schooljaar in Getz is voorbij, door de naschoolse opvang zijn de resultaten van veel kinderen een stuk beter dan voorheen. De kinderen uit vijf klassen zijn dit jaar geholpen met het maken van hun huiswerk en hebben dagelijks een maaltijd gekregen. Iets waar de kinderen uit de zigeunerwijk thuis niet elke dag op hoeven te rekenen!!
