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 13 October
    By Liza

    We wake up early in the morning, pack the cars, prepare our lunch en leave. There has been some snow and there’s a rough wind.

    The landscape is empty and we hardly see any people on the road.

    We can’t find a sleeping place easy. We meet the landlord of a Guesthouse, Ana. The Guesthouse isn’t open yet, but she is willing to receive us. We are the only four guests and they specially make a meal for us. Only an outdoorguide comes along and takes place at our table.

    We staan vroeg op en bepakken de auto’s en smeren broodjes voor onderweg. Er is sneeuw gevallen en er staat een harde wind.

    Het landschap waarin we terecht komen is kaal en vlak en we komen nauwelijks mensen tegen.

    Het duurt even voordat we een slaapplek vinden, bij toeval komen we de beheerder tegen van een Guesthouse, Ana, eigenlijk is ze nog niet open, maar ze wil ons wel ontvangen.
    Er wordt speciaal voor ons gekookt en we zijn de enige vier gasten in het hotel. Alleen een bevriende outdoorgids komt nog langs en schuift aan.
