While many people will be celebrating Christmas with loved ones, there are many unfortunate people who are away from their families.
Among them are the residents of the Samabula Old People's home who do not have their families and will be celebrating Christmas with their fellow residents.
Speaking on a talk back show on our sister station Radio Sargam, the Home's Sister in Charge, Rucy Naikabia said many organisations have started visiting them to try and bring the joy of Christmas to the residents.
Social Welfare Minister, Doctor Jiko Luveni said with many people facing financial problems and going through the devastation of Tropical Cyclone Mick, we should never forget the elderly of our society.
Meanwhile, 49 year old taxi driver, Saten Narayan said this will be a very hard Christmas for the many in the West and in the Central Division because of Tropical Cyclone Mick.
The Savusavu villager said people should never forget that Christmas means sharing.
Think of elderly this Christmas
