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.

    Verslag 29 Augustus 2024

    When we woke up this morning the entire campsite was in the mist, what a beautiful sight. The mist quickly disappeared as soon as the sun rose higher. We have breakfast and pack everything again, at 10.30 we are ready to leave. We drive north, first towards Diekirch and then further up. At one point we are overtaken by an old Landrover with a Dutch license plate. We wave and drive behind each other for a while. Later during coffee time Trudy and Dirk tell us that they have come into contact with them before when they stayed together at the same campsite in Montenegro. When we start driving again we smell petrol and see that the T-Ford is leaking petrol. That is not good, we direct them to the side. Fortunately, Dirk manages to solve the problem quite quickly and we can continue. The rest of the journey goes smoothly. We drive into Belgium and at the end of the day we drive into the Netherlands! For Dirk and Trudy, a special moment to set foot on Dutch soil again after 5 months. We drove through 4 countries today. We look for a campsite near Vaals, we arrive at a beautiful farm campsite and how coincidental is that there is still a T-Ford on the campsite from the same year of construction (1915) as our T-Ford. We build a tent, cook food and make plans on how we will continue the route tomorrow.
    Today we drove 169 km
