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.

    It is a fabulous house. Inside is it just like it was in the time Elvis lived here with his family.
    There were inside and outside a lot of expositions about his live, movies of his concert and walls full with golden records and rewards.
    In the meditation garden there is Elvis his grave between the graves of his mother, father and grandmother.
    He also has two airplanes, now standing in the garden as an exposition for visitors.
    In an souvenir shop Dirk looked for a new outfit to wear in the Model T.

      Hee,wat leuk! Op visite bij Elvis. Niet alleen Trudy, maar ook Dirk z’n favoriet.
      Wij hadden 15 november met de buurtjes een gezellig en lekker etentje omdat Ul 70 werd.
      En natuurlijk hebben we jullie gemist.
      Maar jullie ons die dag zeker te weten niet!
      Wat leuk: samen naar Graceland!
      Zie jullie helemaal voor me en hoor Dirk al zingen: “are hou lonesome tonight”!
      Wij moesten het zonder jouw zangtalent doen Dirk. We hebben het liedje voor Ul dus maar voorgelezen….
      Hee sukses verder en ‘t schiet alweer flink op dat jullie weer thuis komen.
      Moet ook wel als je nog wat in je schoen wilt vinden, want Sinterklaas vertrekt 6 dec. alweer.

      Groetjes en knuf voor jullie allebei!!
