❗️TRIP DETAILS❗️
So as you know this time we're sending all your donations to three different depots. Once we hit Holland, all of our convoy will travel 3 hours on for a night a late check-in at a Dusseldorf hotel. A restful nights sleep will see our the first arm of our convoy splinter off and head onto Berlin whilst legs two and three, all things being equal head to Poland.
3 hours down the road 2, Group 1 will check in to the Instytut Pileckiego's Berlin donation centre who's hub is focused entirely on supporting the most vulnerable refugees that've made it through Poland. Meanwhile, as they're there hitting the teas and coffees, Groups 2 and 3 will press on for a night in Poland before group 2's delivery day.
Tuesday 12th April will see groups 2 and 3 part ways with the largest arm of 9 vehicles heading to Zamosc to arrive shortly after midday and unloading approximately 3000 boxes of aid to Rotary Club Zamość Ordynacki where most of it will be loaded onto articulated lorry's that same evening headed into Kyiv. Remaining donations of clothes, hats and scarves will all be sent into specially-curated charity shops that are all free to Ukrainian refugees.
Meanwhile, group 3 will be heading down through Slovakia and Hungary to touch base later that evening in western Romania before touching base with Rotary Baia Marie who will be supporting those in a bit further East in Odessa and towards Mauripol.
