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.

    Report 24 June

    On to Korog, nice breakfast behind the Landrover, 9.10 drive…   

    Bam, traffic jam; the Chinese are ‘constructing’ the road here and are placing dynamite in the rocks, they then blow it up at night and the rubble is completely covering the road, nice job.  

    We get melon from other drivers and at 11.30 we can continue driving.  

    The dust was wonderfully washed off in a river, and at a checkpoint a soldier asked ‘where is the Ford’ haha,  

    There are quite steep, narrow sections in the road again, and on the passenger seat it is sometimes quite exciting, beautiful! it looks like ‘the most dangerous roads’ on TV 😀.  
    At 1800 we arrive in Korog after 166km and check in at the PamirPalace 
    A bling bling ‘Borat’ hotel, further into the mountains tomorrow! That’s great, man
