Dear supporter,
Digital education is crucial for disadvantaged children as it helps bridge the educational gap and provides them with opportunities they might not otherwise have. By utilizing digital platforms and resources, these children can access high-quality educational materials, interactive learning tools, and online courses, regardless of their geographic location or socioeconomic background. Digital education also fosters self-paced learning, personalized instruction, and flexibility, allowing children to overcome barriers such as limited resources, lack of qualified teachers, or physical disabilities. By empowering disadvantaged children with digital education, we can help unlock their potential, expand their horizons, and create a more inclusive and equitable society.
Throughout the past year, our organisation has been implementing a project named 3M Computer Science After-school club. Together with 3M, through their community grants, we have managed to found 3 IT & Media Centres in 3 underserved schools in Suceava county. At the same time, the project was more than that – it meant bringing children and young people closer to business communities and equip them with essential skills for a professional life.
We have attached to this project report a full outline of our project and we invite you to read through it for a broader view of our impact.
We take this opportunity to thank you for your ongoing and outstanding support.

Dear Supporter,
We are writing today with an update on our most recent digitalisation project, developed in partnership with 3M.
The 3m Computer-Science After-school club aims to equip 3 rural schools in economically disadvantaged areas of Suceava country, Romania with the necessary equipment to set-up 3 IT and media centres.
The school media centres will facilitate the Computer Science After-school club and equip over 600 children aged 6 to 14 with basic digital skills and prepare them for the future.
Each rural school will be supported with the installation of Internet and equipped with a video projector and 15 all in one systems, counting in total for 3 projectors and 45 computer systems across the project. This will facilitate the implementation of 3 Computer Science After school clubs in 3 rural locations and deliver throughout the course of the project a total number of 6 offline basic Computer Science workshops and 45 online workshops in disadvantaged areas.
I have attached a presentation and a timeline report of our project so far.
We thank you for all your support!
Dear Supporter,
Our autumn is filled with loads of great projects, some old, others new.
We are proud to announce you that we have a new partnership with the global company 3M - through which we will equip three rural schools from Suceava County with computer labs this school year.
In the coming 12 months, over 1000 children will benefit from basic digital skill courses, delivered via online and offline workshops.
Digital skills amongst vulnerable groups remain a priority for our organisation. We have attached the presentation of the program, which we will update as we go along, and align with more photos in the coming months.
More surprises are coming.

Over 4 months of war
Te Aud Romania has offered logistical, financial and humanitarian support over 900.000 Euros, ever since the Ukrainian refugee crisis has started. All of this was made possible with support from individual donors, as well as a high number of national and international partners that have joined our endeavours.
As a charity focused on non-formal educational programs for children, we will work alongside national and international partners to develop medium to long term solutions to integrate Ukrainian refugee children within the community and provide a safe and appropriate environment to alleviate the pain and grow.

February 2022. The worst seemed behind us, and no one could have ever imagined something even worse than a pandemic. And the Ukrainian armed conflict emerged.
Located within 70 kms of the Ukrainian border, we have taken on, from the very beginning, the role of support organisation from everyone fleeing away from the conflict.
Whilst the first two weeks of our Ukrainian refugee crisis have been focused on providing immediate response solutions, coordination mechanisms have now started to work and whilst we are still continuing to provide immediate solutions to various situations, we are now at the same time, directing our attention to the development of medium to long term solutions. Because we are all in this within the long run.
Within the past month, TAR invested over 50,000 Euros as a response to the crisis. Our support has taken various forms, based on the correlated need from the ground: immediate response and support for individual refugee situations, accommodation within refugee centres, equipping refugee centres with necessary items, development of transit, baby and children kits, medicine and other medical necessities, transports over the border to support those still left in Ukraine and so on.

SNEAK PEAK INTO OUR COMING MONTH
April 2022 shall mark the start of the distribution of our fully equipped schoolbags in schools where Ukrainian refugees started to study.
At the same time, alongside UK partners and institutional national partners, we shall provide the Siret border with over 10,000 goody transit bags for children, in accordance to age, as they cross the border.
Whilst we are constantly working on further integration measures and lifelong support.
