Donations cannot currently be made to this page
Teams4u seeks to work with children and young people who are in need and to develop the skills of those who work with them. Consequently the partner organisations vary and the needs that require support. At preasent T4U are working with those who support orphans, street children, child soldiers and young offenders. The current partner organisations are located within Eastern Europe and Africa.

Story

So here's the deal. I've just completed my 2nd trip to Romania and loved it. The photos are making their way onto facebook, if you're not on facebook and want to see them, contact me and we can sort something out.

The people we met need so much and I do not 'need' anything. So please give whatever you would consider spending on a birthday present to teams4u so they can continue the work they are doing in Romania and other countries.

Please consider this: 

The children in Urvind have birthdays, everybody has a birthday. But how do you celebrate your birthday when you are facing the same struggle to survive on your birthday as you were the day before and you will the following day?

How, as a parent, do you buy a present, cake and candles to celebrate your childrens' birthdays, when there isn't enough money to buy food, clothes or complete the roof on the house you have built with your own bare hands?

Help me to celebrate my birthday knowing that we are helping to make a difference to someone else.

Thank you very much.
