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 July 27

    Posted on 27 July 2024 by arnaud

    Gori – Akhaltsikhe  

    By Arnaud and Roos 

    Dirk is already working on the T-Ford at half past seven in the pouring rain. The left steering knuckle pin is worn and will be replaced. We have a nice hotel with a key spot behind the hotel, but we had not ordered the rain. Trudy assists with umbrella ☂️  

    The hotel has a pool. It’s a very serious swimming pool, so we swim laps wearing a swimming cap 🤣  

    Today we follow the route along the Kura River . We have a beautiful road past villages, through the mountains. Of course many bends and unfortunately also rain again. But after the rain comes sunshine again. The river flows heavily, especially in the second half of the route, and you can also go rafting here. But we do it while driving. And after a whole day of driving and approximately 140 km, we arrive in Akhaltsikhe where we have a delicious meal in a street at the foot of the Rabati castle.
