We are very grateful for all the donations we receive for the trip to Romania and also especially for the food packages. How very encouraging!
There were also some questions about the food packages.
We will answer them below!
Do you take the food packages from the Netherlands?
No, we go shopping with the team on the spot, and put together packages. With the local team in Romania, we discuss what is most needed. Bales of flour, oil and long-lasting items are essential for the winter.
How do the packages get to the right place?
We will go with our team to the mountain villages and deliver the food packages ourselves. besides, it always goes along with personal attention, bringing the gospel, praying for people with natural respect and attention to their culture, and what they allow us to.
How do you know who needs help?
We always partner together with a local team. They know the people, they know better than anyone where the needs are. They also will keep in touch with these people, meeting their needs.
Can I still give?
For sure! PleaseYes please!".
What happens to the money left over?
What we have left for "food packages-support" we will spend on emergency aid on the spot. Think about wood for the winter, medical assistance. But in this we have to be very selective and rely on the advice of the local team. And otherwise it will remain in the jar for which it was given - for another trip.
Once again, it is awesome that you all give so abundantly! We feel blessed, and we are going to pass this blessing on with love!!
Be blessed, Hans & Rolinka
