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.

    We stop at Swan Lake at 6 p.m. A nice place picked by Trudy, because there is a restaurant in the village. We are going out for dinner to celebrate Trudy’s birthday there. A nice restaurant!

    It is warm so we take our desert outside. When Trudy’s desert is brought out, a candle is put on it and the staff is singing Happy Birthday. The parrot inside sings with them.

      I was curious if you ever thought of changing the structure of your website?
      Its very well written; I love wha youve got to say.
      But maybe youu could a little more in the way of content so peopl
      could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text
      for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space
      iit out better?
