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 28 September

    Posted on 28 September 2014 by DirkJan

    La Junta – Puyuhuapi – Coyhaique

    After a day of relaxing we are facing an optimistic day. Dirk thinks we can make it today to Coyhaique which is 275 km. ahead. Our hosts Juan Carlos and Adrian took good care of us and prepared fine meals.

    We say goodbye and at 08.00 o clock we got on the road to Coyhaique. It is cold but a clear sky and the route leads us through the National Park of Quelat. On our way we had to wait a lot because of road workers. They blow rocks away with dynamite and after that the truck have to take all the rocks away. During one of our stops we meet the only Chilenean man who has ever been to Monnickendam (5 km. of Edam where Dirk lives). What  a coincedence. It takes us 5 hours to drive the first 100 km. Not very promising for the next 175 km.  But happily the road gets better and after a journey of 10 hours we finally reach Coyhaique.

    The views on the road were breath taking and the pictures speaks for themselves.
