Every year, the homes from Sancrai organize an open gate day where they invited local officials, friends, and family of the children to be part of a day from the lives of the orphans. The orphans work hard to prepare for this special day. The older children prepared a beautiful gypsy dance celebrating their origins.
It was such a blast to see the children—young and old— perform and have fun on their special day! Open Gates Day also meant that we all got to visit each of the 11 homes, have lunch, and chat with the families! We got to see what a day looks like in the homes! The children were so sweet inviting everybody to their home and being perfect hosts, offering cold beverages and food to those who came to visit.
