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 22 June

    Posted on 22 June 2024 by DirkJan

    By DJ and Danny

    The plans have changed,

    To spare the T-Ford and to give Dirk his rest so that he is fit again for the rest of the trip, we decided not to take the T-Ford into the Pamir.

    We park the Ford at the HotelManager in his ‘patio’.
    And Dirk and Trudy are taking a 2-week holiday in the back of the Landrover.

    Pack your stuff and tie it up on the roof and off we go!!

    From busy Dushanbe it becomes increasingly quiet, the road is beautiful and the views become more and more beautiful!
    Dirk and Trudy sit comfortably in the back and Danny and Dirk-jan alternate driving.

    On the way we buy a melon.

    We climb higher and higher, it is beautiful

    After a 267km drive we stop at a Homestay in Soho.

    They have a beautiful sink outside, and a ‘shitting room’ with a hole in the ground in the garden. This takes some getting used to for the new drivers 😊
