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.

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)
Every year the TEECH trustees visit possible projects and decide which would best benefit from help and how they could be made self-sufficient. A team of approximately 20-40 volunteers armed with tools travel overland by coach to endeavor to complete the project. We also deliver aid to various contacts in the local area (e.g beds and medical supplies to hospitals, clothes and shoes for orphanages)
