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.
