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.

Trustee - Gemma Lewis

gemmaWho am I?  gemma Lewis - Charity Secretary

Why did I become a trustee? When I first got involved with TEECH back in 2007 it was because I wanted to try something different and I found the voluntary work very rewarding indeed.  This was noticed by the other trustees and when they asked me to help more in the running of the charity I jumped at the chance.

What was the first project you were involved in? Targu Frumas "2007 Project"

What TEECH means to me? Charity work for TEECH has made me realise just how lucky I am and with a small charity you can really see where your money goes. 

What has been your highlights of working with the charity?  Organising the first and extremely sucessfull Teech Masquerade Ball and Disco in 2008 and subsequent events and getting back into drawing and painting murals after years of this childhood skill of mine being redundant!!
