As always with these things, there is way too little time to do a proper preparation.
The car is in good shape, we have the maps on the navigator, but there are still a million niggly little things left to do...
Hard to imagine at this time that we will be almost in Prague tomorrow this time...

The charity for which the pirates ride is Stichting Spoetnik, which gives humanitarian aid to the Ukraine.
Stichting Spoetnik does so via a variety of projects. The specific project for the Amsterdam-Odessa Rally 2007 is the support of psychiatric hospital.
Their philosophy is not to transfer any funds, but to ship equipment.
This equipment will be bought locally or it will be gathered in the Netherlands and then shipped.

Stiching Spoetnik works in the Ukraine together with 6 other organisations, who have the permission to do so by the Ministry and the committee of humanitarian affairs in Kiev. These organisations have contacts throughout the Ukraine: Cherson and Mikolaev south, Shostka and Romny up north and Charkiv in the east.
Spoetnik has contact with a psychiatric hospital in Romny, which specializes in the aid for children.
Team 'Pirates of the Ukraine' does not need your money, but the hospital does.
