Our support Groups Unite people

Always needed, Always there

Our Alexadra volunteers, have started a successful support group, that brings the young and the old together. It has become of utmost importance to us that people within societies should try to bridge gaps between generations, and the best way to do that is by bringing them together, for story telling. We feel that for communities to live in harmony, people must socialise responsibly.
