2020 christmas shoebox appeal
As mentioned last month, TEECH hopes to travel to Romania and Moldova at Christmas time, to hand deliver food parcels and shoebox gifts. Logistics and the pandemic might cause issues, but we would like to plan a small trip to visit at least three schools and villages. It will also provide an opportunity for the charity to look at new schools and options for bathroom projects for 2021.
Some of you have already been in touch, which is great, offering to do shoeboxes. If you would like to make up a shoebox or more, then please get in touch so we can allocate gender and age of the boxes we require, this way we can ensure the charity has enough for the schools we aim to reach. All boxes would need to be completed and with the charity early December.
To find ideas of items to place into boxes, then see our shoebox page. This year teenage boxes can include reusable face coverings, hand gel, soup etc. TEECH spoke to the UK Embassy in Moldova during August and they raised the point, that face coverings are available in Moldova but some families will struggle to afford to purchase them. TEECH will be taking some to hand out also.
We now have a fundraising page set up for the Christmas trip, with the aim to raise funds to cover some of the transport costs. The charity does have approx. £1,000 from the summer project fundraising, which will go towards Christmas, which is fantastic.
