Every year the TEECH trustees visit possible projects and decide which would best benefit from our help and how we can make them self sufficient (our ultimate goal). This year we are dedicating our resources on to an orphanage & school in Falesti (Northern Moldova) which is considered one of the poorest countries in Eastern Europe.

TEECH welcomes new volunteers to join them on the trip. The cost of this year's trip is £350 (£200 to cover your travel, accommodation, insurance and food and we ask for a minimum doantion of  £150 to help with the running costs of the charity).  Some of our volunteers raise the money via donations and holding events such as a Masquerade Ball (held at St Elizabeth Hotel, Copdock Ipswich on 13th June 2009) and a 60/70's Disco's (date and location to be confirmed for this years event please sign up to newsletter for invite). Our volunteers also spend the rest of the year collecting donated items (new and used) and acquiring items which have been requested for the project (wishlist).

TEECH un-officially started in 1998 when a group of people who worked together at BT took up the challenge from a work colleague to help repair two hospitals in Bucharest, Romania's capital. About 50 volunteers under the banner of BTL Aid spent a two week period in August and set about painting, plastering, adding lighting and generally making the two hospitals a cleaner, safer and brighter place.

Flushed with the success of this trip but seeing the need to be more structured, we organised ourselves into a proper registered charity and TEECH was born. We kept "Telecom's" in our name as so many of us worked for BT but we are a non-BT organisation and totally independent. Our members are all unpaid volunteers so 100% of our donations go to the daily runnings of the charity and the projects we support.
