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.

    Report 21 August 2024

    Today we are supposed to go to Slovenia. We take down the tent early because the temperatures are rising quickly. Dirk still has to tinker with the T-Ford so it will be a while before we leave. During breakfast Simon and Femke play a bit on the accordion. Simon and Femke take another dip in the pool. When the stuff is almost packed, Linde and I go to have a look. When Dirk is almost ready, we get ready to leave because we have to leave the campsite at 12 o’clock, we leave the campsite at 5 to 12.
    After a bit of driving, we find a nice spot in the shade where we have a cup of coffee and where we finally want to put our sticker on the Landrover. Dirk thinks we have been driving ‘illegally’ with the follow-up team long enough. There is so much sun but suddenly I feel a drop, not much later it rains heavily that we decide to postpone the sticker moment for a while.
    We take the highway towards the Slovenian border. A little over the border we find a nice restaurant where we eat a delicious late lunch/early dinner. Then we can do it tonight or with something small. We drive towards Postojna where we find a place to sleep in a beautiful youth hostel where there are all kinds of fun playthings for the children. We are assigned 2 triple rooms. Simon goes to Dirk and Trudy’s room and Dirk-jan, me and the girls in the other room. After we have brought our things upstairs, we finally do the sticker moment, and when that is done we go for a drink on a terrace in the village.
    Tomorrow, we hope to visit a castle and caves here.
