TACC always tries to remain in contact with the worthy causes we have supported during our travels. On the lead up to Christmas 2011 we recived a message from Snezana in Maceondia. Snezana is a day care centre for street children.

Once again Snezana talked through the challenges being faced ensuring that even the basic welfare of the children they support was being met. TACC wanted to once again show our support and pledged to donate £5000 to improve the lives of the children who use the center.

Snezana again they asked for the most basic of items such as shoes, towels, toiletries, clothes and school equipment. These may seem insignificant to us but these basic supplies and items make a significant difference to the children.

In addition to these items the school have also been able to purchase a Boiler, Washing Machine and make some much needed repair to the center.

The British Embassy again lent a hand to ensure that all of the items the school needed were purchased and delivered to them.

Thanks to the many TACC supporters we have been able to improve the lives of children.

Kiev CHRISTMAS 2011

TACC have once again make a donation to the School of the Blind in Kiev.

The school has continued to face great challenges - funding remains a big problem and only covers the bare minimum to allow the pupils to survive.

The school have used the donation to purchase new heaters. These heaters have served a vital role for the school. The heaters actually saved their fruit and vegetables and other food they store  - the weather is ridiculously cold, around -30C and all their supplies would have been ruined without them.

In addition the school will mark Ukrainian Easter on 15 April this year. The school will use some funds to give the pupils a simple pleaseure that most children take for granted - they will make sure to buy each kid an Easter cake. We will try to posty some pictures from the party after easter.

School of the Blinds financial situation is the same as the past -  the government covers food, electricity, water and teachers' salaries - everything else they have to somehow make happen themselves. The donations made by you to TACC helps makes an absolutely indescribable amount of difference.
