One of the Tjoptjoppers, Frank Hanema, works at 'De Kievit'.
'De Kievit' has contact 'Indoshelter'. Frank suggested to make'Indoshelter' one of our charity goals.
Next the e-mail Frank send to Arend Brouwer.
Arend is also working at 'De Kievit' and is close to the 'Indoshelter' project.
Dear Arend, Karin and all members of Indoshelter,
We are very pleased to let you know that we've decided to contribute to the Indoshelter project, by riding the route 66 (in the USA ) on solex.
We will start in september 29 and ride all the way from chicago to LA. Hopefully we will arrive at october 24.
22 men and one lady will face the challenge, and they are very motivated to raise some money for the Indoshelter project.
We all took notice to the website of Indoshelter, and concluded that this kind of charity is just what this world needs: small initiatives instead off major project.
At this moment we can guarantee €1000,00.
In the mean time we already made an annoucement of this charity tour. If you like you can find it on www.velosolexamerica.com (Or just google velosolex america), and also the website of the TJOP-TJOPPERS.
The tour is trailed by several media:
CNN will be waiting for us at the arrival in the USA
TV OOST is present during the last two weaks of the tour. And moreover... The USA Counsul and the Dutch Councel will be present in Chicago or L.A.We allready stored 22 brand new solex vehicles in Chicago,the tickets are in our pocket, so we are ready to go
Saving just one child from starvation, or prostitution is enough to fire up our solex.
And off course, we also do it for fun.
Arend, Karin: If you are coming to Holland this year... You are invited to a graet sponsoring party at october 30 in 'De Meenthe' in Steenwijk.
'Kievit Meppel' is sponsoring as wel for this major project ,so we arranged a meeting with the Tjoptjopper sponsoring commity.
We will pay attention to the R66 tour in one of the comming "Paparazza",
Any response from 'Indoshelter' will be appreciated, we will use it in our local newspaper.
Regards and lot off succes with the Indoshelter project

Arend Brouwer replied:
Dear Frank and all other TjopTjoppers,
Thank you very much for this great support to Indoshelter! Karin and Emmy will follow up officially from Indoshelter side. They are two of the initiators of this Indoshelter project.
I only can be proud to be born in Steenwijkerwold between friends, who are able to combine fun and charity, which enables other people to have a better life.
Next two weeks I will be in Holland and Frank I would like to hear much more about your big planned adventures in the States.
Wish you lots of success with the preparation of the tour, from our side we guarantee that every penny will go to the poorest people with the biggest needs, living in the outskirts of Semarang.
I will push the ladies to support you with lots of material which you can use for further promotion.
See you next week in Meppel.
Cheers,
Arend
