"Travelling to Eastern Europe to help improve the lives of others"

DECEMBER  2020            ​newsletter

2020 christmas shoebox appeal

The shoeboxes have arrived, the sorting has been completed and the vehicles loaded.

As you will all know from prior newsletters, TEECH has been preparing to send a small team of volunteers over to Romania and Moldova this Christmas to deliver gifts and support families. Everything is ready to go, therefore we hope that the virus and any changing travel restrictions will not delay the team over the coming weeks.

Over 750 shoeboxes have been collected and will be delivered to:
  • Tileagd, Romania
  • Miercurea-Nirajului, Romania
  • Marculeni, Romania
  • Families located near Fagaras, Romania
  • Baccealia, Moldova
  • Berlinti, Moldova
  • Moldoveanca, Moldova,
  • Hasnasenii Noi, Moldova
The team will also be delivering wheelchairs, walking aids and other medical items to the hospital in Causeni.

Huge thanks goes to all those who took the time to make up & deliver shoeboxes.
Thank you to:
  • Rotary Club of Ipswich
  • Mandy Bainbridge and friends in Ipswich
  • Many, many individuals – you know who you are
  • Nicholas Church, Beverley
  • Old Bucklesham School, Suffolk
  • The team from Hale Newsagents & Woodfalls Post Office
  • Jay and Pratap and the Sathya Sai Organisation - Region 2 UK
  • ChristChurch, Clacton
  • Pauls Road Primary, Plymouth

Thank you also goes to everyone who has kindly and generously donated cash to the Christmas trip. To date £3,051 has been received through the donation page, cash and bank transfers. We will update you all with how the trip went at the end of January. ​​
New volunteer Becky Stevens, is looking to do a swim in the sea over Christmas (individually), therefore if you would like to support her efforts, she is fundraising here:

donations

Throughout 2020 TEECH has continued to received clothing donations, with sorting and boxing occurring in gardens and garages. Of the clothing received, a lot is ladies, with mens, boys and girls all considerably less, therefore please consider donating clothing for children once we get into 2021, ready for next summer. If you have clothing to donate, then get in touch and we can work out a way to pass it through to us in Essex.

Please note: TEECH are no longer able to accept large or bulky medical aids. The charity will still take foldable wheelchairs, walking sticks, crutches but not walking frames, zimmer frames, commodes because they are too bulky to store and transport.

Once the UK has left the EU then the charity will no longer be able to take used shoes either, as these can not be imported into Moldova and delivering aid to Romania would require customs clearance which is not possible. 


​a reminder to use 'smile' when shopping on amazon

TEECH are set up on Amazon Smile – its Amazon as you know if but allows a donation of 0.5% of each purchase to charity. If you do use Amazon and would like to help raise a few pounds, then follow the link below to read more about it and link your normal account to the charity and continue shopping as you always have done.
​Thank you in advance.
