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 - Robert Standley

Robert Standly - TreasurerWho am I?

Robert Standley - Treasurer trustee

Why did I become a trustee?

In 1998 Vic Tallowin advertised on the BT intranet to raise interest in an aid trip to Bucharest in Romania.  A small committee was formed and I volunteered to be treasurer of 'BTRL Aid to Romania'.  When we registered TEECH as a charity I became a trustee.  

What was the first project you were involved in ?

We renovated dilapidated wards in two Bucharest hospitals in 1998. 

 What TEECH means to me?

TEECH provides the mechanism for volunteers to use their skills and enthusiasm to make a difference to the lives of some of the poorest people in Europe.

 What has been your highlights of working with the charity?

Hard to say.  Some of the most life changing work has been the provision of clean, tiled toilet and shower facilities. One of the encouraging experiences has been to see how initially suspicious and apparently unfriendly patients on a Bucharest cancer ward transformed into willing co-workers by the end of our week amongst them.
