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.

    September 10 – day 81

    Posted on 10 September 2012 by Michiel

    It’s desert day today, we have a whole day to cross a desert which is a 130 km drive, an extremely bad road. Dirk told us that the roads in Mongolia are very good compared to this! Because of the shaking, the fuel filter of the Land Rover has broken of and diesel in leaking, we were lucky that it happened when we reached our destination Marsabit where we could buy a new one. Just before we reached the town and were out of the desert we passed a few craters with the edges populated by baboons, a beautiful sight. We have found a good hotel (Araburo Guest House) where we could wash off the dust with a nice hot shower.

      Hallo Globetrotters,
      Wat een belevenis schitterend gewoon dat kunnen ze jullie nooit meer afnemen deze ongeloofelijke ervaring. Wat een natuur jullie worden wel op jezelf teruggeworpen vooral met pech in de woestijn dat die T Ford het zo geweldig doet in dat desolate landschap
      We genieten van jullie berichten alsof we er zelf bij zijn. We zijn overigens opgelucht dat jullie Soedan uit zijn want nagenoeg overal in de islamitische landen zijn weer anti westerse rellen uitgebroken.
      In Kenia zal je daar minder last van hebben.
      Nou luitjes goede trip verder en zonnig spoor
      Frans & Ida
