Here, 6 days a week, various after school activities are organized such as: robotics, computer science, English language, handmade workshops, art therapy and even music lessons taught by a teacher from Mexico. Visitors to the centre can also benefit from psychotherapist consultations, etc., if needed.

Some of these activities are financially supported by Help-Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe through the project implemented by APSCF.

The second organisation visited was AO. SOS Autism, where donors had the opportunity to talk with Ukrainian refugees, whose accommodation was organized by AO. SOS Autism. They made sure that the beneficiaries are satisfied with the services delivered through the project supported by Help-Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe, namely food services, provision of medicines, hygiene products, games and educational materials for the children accommodated in the refugee centre. The guests were given a tour of the AO Rehabilitation Centre. SOS Autism where the beneficiaries receive medical consultations, ABA services, speech therapy and psychological counselling.
