Weihnachts Packet

Hello again. Every year, ATU, the company that Markus works for, takes part in a charity even called "Die Weihnachtstrucker", literally, Christmas Truckers. They team up with Antenne Bayern (a radio station here), Rewe (a supermarket here), Die Johanniter (kinda like the Red Cross) and some others and collect packages containing basic nutrition needs. They send these all over Eastern Europe, and this year, the 4 ATU trucks went to Albania. Pretty cool. Last year we packed only one packet. This year though, we were a bit extra blessed, so we decided to pack 2. In total, there were close to 59,000 packets going to different places around Eastern Europe.

This is all the stuff to go into the packet!



The 4 ATU trucks that went to Albania...each with two trailers!!!



The truckers who gave up some of their vacation time to drive the packets to Albania. They are really a great group of guys...

Markus wanting to be a trucker...one day my love :)
