bathroom project trip to moldova
cotiujenii mici and marinesti 

TEECH Volunteers travelled on a 4,000 miles round trip to Moldova, to create bathrooms in two village schools, Cotiujenii Mici and Marinesti. The villages were approximately 10 miles apart but the journey took along time due to the condition of the road.

The team started in Cotiujneii Mici, which are the first set of photos below, and then moved to Marinesti for the second half of the trip (second set of photos below). The pictures show the bathrooms being created, village life, along with food deliveries and the free clothes shop of the locals. Plus deliveries of other aid in support of Ukrainians currently residing in Moldova.
