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 25 August 2024

    Today a tinkering and relaxing day. We’ll stay here for an extra day; the tinkering will take a while. The children can play here and swim in the lake. In the afternoon we look for a nice spot under the trees by the lake and we stay there. A few hours. Dirk continues with the T-Ford in the meantime. We make plans for the rest of the route, because the route we had planned will no longer fit into the schedule. Showers are coming, we make sure everything is dry and get something to eat. We hear music in the distance, I had already seen that they were building something. Simon wants to watch, I go with him, there is a whole brass band with all kinds of different wind instruments in a kind of traditional costume. We sit down and listen for a while. All around us it is thundering and flashing, but it stays dry here. The brakes and tires in the box have been replaced, nice tinkering! Continue tomorrow.
