Summer 2008 was a very special experience for daughter Lorie and I. We left our men folk behind and safely travelled across Europe with Teech, I spoke on the vehicle radio contact - a first for me!!
The weather was very hot in E Europe. Thankfully alot of our work was in the basement of the building where it was cooler - this included decorating and sorting serious damp wall problems in the 'treatment rooms' of the orphanage/school also new toilets and tiling in the same area. Amazing redecoration work was carried out in the dormitory areas. Teech left behind a room with a mermaid, a delightful water room with fish and plants and a spider-man room. Electrical lights were installed in all of the rooms that were decorated and hospital beds including ones that could be raised and lowered were brought in on the lorry and left in the treatment rooms. The dormitory rooms were fitted out with new beds, linen and ex-hospital bedside cabinets
All work carried out by the Teech team was done to the best of our ability and materials, quite alot of materials and electrical fittings were sourced locally thus benefitting small local businesses as did the daily food needs for 39 persons. Despite very simple wash-rooms whilst on location at the orphanage we were always a clean and healthy bunch of folk.
We enjoyed every minute including the journey and I believe that i made some good friends! Personally, we heard of Teech as work colleagues had helped the previous year
