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.

    Newsletter Model T Worldtour May 2023.

    Dear Friends of the Model T World Tour.
    Now that traveling through China is possible again after the Covid-19 pandemic, we are resuming our world tour.
    In the spring of 2024 we plan to start in Beijing with the last leg of our world tour. The intention is to make this another wonderful journey of more than 11,500 miles through Central Asia, Central- and Western Europe back to Holland.
    We are currently busy preparing the Model T Ford. The engine is still apart due to problems with the crankshaft. Hopefully we can make our first drive with the Ford again soon.
    The Landrover will also join us as a support vehicle. Two enthusiastic teams have already agreed to travel with us in the Landrover for four weeks.
    Below you will see a map with the approximate route to be driven.

    China               Tajikistan          Turkey         Austria
    Mongolia          Uzbekistan       Bulgaria      Switzerland
    Russia Altay     Caspian Sea    Serbia         France
    Kazakhstan      Azerbaijan        Croatia        Belgium
    Kyrgystan         Georgia            Slovenia      Holland

    With this trip we raise money for two children’s projects:
    in Baruun-Urt and Bayankhongor in Mongolia.

      Been awhile since you were staying at our place in Esperance, I hope the final leg of your tour is a good one.
      I hope you are keeping well as we are. Look forward to following your journey.
