The elderly came to bid farewell to the late President Dr. Hage Geingob at the final held ||Kharas Regional memorial service.
 

A Catholic nun from the Benedictine Sisters of Oshikuku decided to spread some festive season cheer to the elderly at Utokota village in Shambyu, Kavango East Region.

This is Sister Wilhelmine Mukosho. 

More than 1,500 senior citizens were treated to a Christmas lunch and received shopping vouchers to get them through the festive season by Walvis Bay Mayor Trevino Forbes.

Forbes also paid a visit to old-age homes in surrounding areas that were out of reach.

The government allocates close to N$4,1 million every month to support over 3000 people with disabilities in the Erongo Region.

Erongo Governor Neville Andre has, however, expressed dissatisfaction with the situation where senior citizens are left alone to care for children with disabilities.

Back in the day, the holiday season was known as a time for families to gather and have fun.
 
Nowadays, some senior citizens say the season has turned into more individual vacations, with jobs taking up much of families' time.
 

The Bukalo Village Council has given an early Christmas to some of the elderly.

Twenty-two senior citizens received food parcels, which include 10-kilogram bags of maize meal, sugar, flour, cooking oil and rice.
