Falesti Village Orphanage TEECH Project 2009

Requirments: Split larger dormitories into smaller rooms by way of stud walls Decorate those dormitories when done Murals to be painted in all Dormitories Lighting Toilets – new seats and check plumbing Wash basins – relativey new but new taps required (a couple of basins broken – need replacing) Setup more efficient usage of hot water boiler as they reported it as very expensive to run – currently only 2 showers for the whole of the block Broken pipe in roofing / set in walls needs repairing or replacing / bypassing as it’s causing major damp problems in wash rooms on all floors. Sports equipment Table Tennis Tables Footballs Tennis balls Gym equipment Computers (24) Irons Ironing boards Kettles Industrial washers (2) Industrial dryers (2) Clothes / shoes (especially winter clothes) Tables / chairs for dining room Hot water for washing area / basins in dining area Hot water boilers for sinks in kitchen Ultimate wish: 6 showers on each floor in accommodation block (3 floors) run off main gas boiler in boiler room (separate building – heating in buildings currently being run from it) Additional requirements: Food parcels containing items like Rice, Pasta, Sugar, Flour etc. Photos and outline of work: Washrooms Various plumbing work required – Replace damaged sinks

Hallways Note: Two relatively new industrial boilers in plant room – they requested that we provide piping from those boilers into the dormitory block (75-100 mts away) so that hot water can be piped to dormitory block. Main piping already exists to run the radiators – not convinced that it will be possible to use same boilers to provide hot water as there may only be a single feed / return and it may closed loop with inhibitors in it. Gas fired boilers are cheaper to run than electric and the one electric boiler they do have (running 2 showers in the main dormitory block) is very expensive to run. Provide replacement computers
Provide small hot water heaters over sinks (and in kitchens)
Tables and chairs required
Kitchen equipment required
Good decoration – but some artwork would really improve the area
