TEECH 2011 Shoe Box Appeal   TEECH visited Romania and Moldova for two weeks at the beginning of January 2012 to deliver over 1000 generously donated shoeboxes to children and food parcels to families. The Moldovan Christmas is celebrated on the 7th January therefore we could truly bring Christmas to the children when they celebrate the occasion.  
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.
Donations in 2009 helped... The TEECH 2009 Project was to help restore a wing in the Robert Cole Centre, a school for special needs children that was damaged in a fire. While on location it was brough to our attention of a group of homeless people who were living in a adjacent wing with no toilets or running water. Some of the big achievements made possible by donations obtained during the year... Repair the computer wing Clean and decorate the stair way Repair showers for the children Install a toilet for the homeless people (photo)   

From 11th – 25th August 2012 TEECH will be returning to Moldova to a school in Valcinet, a small town in the middle/west of the country.

The school currently has no indoor toilets for the 350 children therefore this project will really benefit many lives.  We plan to convert a disused laundry room for the boys and a storage room for the girls.  Additionally we will be redecorating some of the class rooms and adding murals to the walls together with new furnishings.

As in previous years the TEECH volunteers will be camping out in a few of the class rooms so an air bed and pillow are essential for the trip.  Our chef will be taking over the schools kitchen and providing nourishing meals to keep the volunteers fueled whilst taking on the jobs at the school.  
 
If more than 30 volunteers join up for this years trip then TEECH plan to take on a second project which is a few hours away in Trifanesti, near Balti in the middle of Moldova.  building in the village has been identified to transform into a kindergarten for 24 children (ages 3-7yrs), the building is connected to the electric but full rewiring is required so the team needed for this project will be largely electricians and plumbers to help install new toilets too, 3-4 non skilled willing assistants will also be needed for this smaller project
