TIME TO PREPARE A SHOEBOX for the christmas 2016 delivery
We're busy preparing the Christmas Shoeboxes now, if you're able to get involved that would be great.
Donations made will be hand delivered to Romania and Moldova by a team of TEECH volunteers, last year we took over 1,700 shoebox presents, food parcels and lots of warm clothing and blankets. The team will be visiting Ivancea, the location of our summer project this year, as well as delivering to individuals in their homes and to other schools.
We're asking for any help you're able to give, anything from completing a shoebox, gathering suitable items for a box and sending them through to us, finding empty shoeboxes for others to use, gathering warm winter clothing or donating a few pounds towards the trip to help with transportation costs.

For all the instructions on completing a box, please download the poster below. We hope this will be useful to spread the word where you might work or amongst friends. The instructions are also on the website.
You can deliver boxes to a BT depot near you (use this label) or drop them in locally in Suffolk / Essex.
The deadline for boxes to be dropped at BT depots is Friday 9th December at the latest (earlier if at all possible), or by Friday 16th December if you are able to deliver to us locally.
Many Thanks in advance.

Special ReQUESTS THIS MONTH
We have had a request for donations of incontinence pads for the older generation in Moldova, the team would be pleased to take as many they can.
We are looking out for a fridge (in clean working order) to take on next year's summer trip, so if you hear of one going spare please let us know, we'll use it during the project and leave it out there.
We are also on the look out for toilet cubicles, again for next years project. Please get in touch if you think you might be able to help source some for us.
