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.

    Tuesday July 23

    Posted on 23 July 2013 by Rozemarijn

    Report July 23rd, by Dielof.

    Dirk zipped open our tent. He has already started his greasing-ritual. Now and than interfered by a lady or gentleman for a model-T moment.
    After a nice breakfast in Banff with a delicious cappuccino up to Lake Louis. There is beside the lake a big castle/hotel from the beginning of the 20th century.

    And than back on track again.
    We have to leave the park before 4 pm. And we manage to do that just in time.
    At the right of us we have a mountain range and the beginning of lake Abraham

    At the left there is also a mountain range. There is an exit quite steep towards the lake. Time for a swim. Fred changes underwear, I go as Adam. Dirk films this all. And off we go.
    Now there shows up a sign: GAS. We tank at a first nation gas station.
    Dirk goes to the side the road. He has seen a campsite a little way back, off the road some 6 km. We have to go through a little stream. Model T first, Fred films it. A picture is taken.

    Than the Land rover follows. Good experience for Fred in low-gear. Now we are on the camping, very quiet. The “murmur “of the river in the background.
