Father's Day gives us all an opportunity to show our fathers that they are the world to us.
For unemployed 45 year old Jack Pal, father's day is a chance for him to have a get together with his 2 children and forget about the stress of day to day life.
However, this day also brings tears in the eyes of those father's who were either left behind or are now residents of the Old People's Home.
Fijivillage paid a visit to the Old People's home where we got the chance to speak to some father's who were eagerly waiting for their children.
Sixty year old, Ram Kirpal, said his wife and children left him five years ago to fend for himself after he had elephantiasis.
Kirpal who was a farmer worked hard for his children so that they could have a comfortable life but was deserted by his wife and children because he was no longer able to earn money.
He had elephantiasis but not aware of it until much later and he had no one to look after him so he went to the old people's home where he is well looked after.
But he is living each day with a hope that his wife and children will come and see him one day.
Neglected father still awaits kids
