Telecoms Eastern European Challenge   Would you be willing to give up two weeks of your time to help a local charity take much needed aid and assist on projects like helping to refurbish a school, orphanage, hospital or old people’s homes in some of the poorest parts of Eastern Europe?
Volunteering on a TEECH Project  All we ask is that volunteers raise a minimum of £500 in fundraising. This money goes towards funding the project and covers your travel expenses like the coach trip there and back, accommodation and food whilst on location.  
Contact TEECH If you or anyone you know might be interested in this unique experience please contact gemma @ Teech.org or 07795 254946 for more information.  
Donations in 2010 helped... The TEECH 2010 Project was to help a orphanage but we received the sad news it was due to close. Not wanting to let the orphans down we accepted the request from the summer camp where the orphans go to help provide running water, toilets and general restoration and aid delivery. The volunteers have now returned and photo's will be made available once we have collected them.
Donations in 2009 helped... The TEECH 2009 Project was to help restore a wing in the Robert Cole Centre, a school for special needs children that was damaged in a fire. While on location it was brough to our attention of a group of homeless people who were living in a adjacent wing with no toilets or running water. Some of the big achievements made possible by donations obtained during the year... Repair the computer wing Clean and decorate the stair way Repair showers for the children Install a toilet for the homeless people (photo) 

About TEECH

TEECH un-officially started in 1998 when a group of people who worked together at BT took up the challenge from a work colleague to help repair two hospitals in Bucharest, Romania's capital. About 50 volunteers under the banner of BTL Aid spent a two week period in August and set about painting, plastering, adding lighting and generally making the two hospitals a cleaner, safer and brighter place.

Flushed with the success of this trip but seeing the need to be more structured, we organised ourselves into a proper registered charity and Telecoms Eastern European Challenge was born (TEECH for short). We kept "Telecom's" in our name as we continue to receive generous sponsorship from BT and many of our volunteers still work for the company although we remain a non-BT organisation and totally independent.
