TEECH 2011 Shoe Box Appeal  Following the massive sucess of our previous two shoe box appeals we are again collecting shoeboxes to deliver to some of the poorest parts of Eastern Europe. The orphanges, familes, hopsitals and retirement homes cannot believe the generousity and the shoeboxes are often the first christmas present they have ever had. As with the previous appeals TEECH volunteers travel to Eastern Europe arriving on Christmas Day which means we are able to collect shoe boxes until around the middle of December which means you can save lots on the Christmas deals in the shops. To download your copy of 2011 poster please click here and select 'Save Target As'    The 2010 shoebox appeal can be found here   If you are interested in donating please sign up to our newsletter to ensure we keep you upto date.

Donations in 2010 helped... To turn a dis-used classroom into to 2 toilets/washrooms; one each for boys and girls.  On arrival the team set about pulling up the existing wooden floor and dividing the large room into 2 smaller ones.  This was done by using timber struts and plaster board and a new doorway was cut into the main corridor so as they each had a separate entrance.

2005 Project Casa Linda, Husi, Romania - Story & Photos

TEECH visited Casa Linda in Husi, Romania which is home for children with learning difficulties.

 
The 26 TEECH volunteers worked in conjuction with another charity RAKE to sucessfully complete the following task:-  decorated, plumbed, plastered, painted, cemented, carpeted, built and repaired for 7 days to leave the home in good shape for the future of these children.
