The open day is being held on 25 and 26 October, where two time slots between 09:00 to 11:00 and 14:00 to 16:00 have been made available for visitors at their home in Anjorika Complex, 31 Wicht Street.

They want to encourage the involvement of volunteers who are willing to assist in caring for the children.
