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.

    Darwin, here we come!

    By Trudy

    We wake up and still smell the burning air. We pack and then the sunburn-smear moment has arrived. Dirk calls the most beautiful moment of the day.

    We drive along the railway towards Darwin.

    A lamp does not light up during the lighting check. During the coffee stop Dirk replaces the two lights of the rear lights.

    We are almost with Paul, because he lives in Marlow Lagoon

    Benno and Thecla came to Paul and Maja yesterday and we are very happy that they arrived as a new crew.

    After a delicious lunch we go to the Hangar. Tom wants to be at my place in the T-Ford and I can ride with Paul in his Chevrolet. Benno and Thecla are in the back.

    We say goodbye to David, who goes to his wife by taxi and Rick looks for a motel and then returns.
    Dirk and Benno are going to work together.

    Dirk gets a plaque from Paul.

    Dirk will refresh the oil.

    What an action, but then we go to the ocean for the barbecue during the setting sun. A beautiful place where you can also see the skyline of Darwin.
