2014 shoebox appeal

Thank you to all those who donated boxes for the appeal. TEECH hand delivered over 1,700 to Romania and Moldova during a two week trip in December/January. The account of the trip can be read in the January newsletter.
Pictures from the trip can be viewed here.

We received thank you pictures from the children of Galesti, Romania 
The split of boxes received was as follows. The mix was good for the schools we visited (as well as homes):

welcome to teech

TEECH was established in 1998 when a group of people who worked together at BT near Ipswich, Suffolk took up the challenge from a colleague to help repair two hospitals in Bucharest.

About fifty volunteers traveled to Bucharest under the banner of ‘BTL Aid to Romania’ in August that year and set about painting, plastering, providing lighting and generally making the hospitals cleaner, safer and brighter places. After the success of this trip, and seeing the need to be more structured the volunteers organised themselves into a Registered Charity and hence TEECH (Telecoms Eastern European Challenge) was born retaining the "telecom" connection in its name.

Although BT continue to provide assistance with transport TEECH is a small independent charity, run by an unpaid team of six people, which welcomes volunteers from all walks life.

our aim

Our vision is to improve the lives of those in Eastern Europe, who by no fault of their own are living in conditions not seen in Western Europe since before the war.

TEECH aim to improve their lives by installing sanitary ware into schools, orphanages and elderly residences where no indoor toilets exist. The charity also delivers aid, including clothing, toys and shoes to the local communities.
