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.

    At Las Grutas we get off the road, a touristic coastspot but now there is no one. Just as we arrive and start looking for a campsite the Model T is making strange noises and Dirk isn’t happy with it. Dirk and Trudy stay and wait and Wouter and I go look for a place to stay. As we get back Dirk and Trudy are speaking with a passenger, Jorge. He is speaking about offering a hotel and the director of Tourism, but its all in Spanish, so we try to understand. More people are arriving.
