The Nyangana Roman Catholic Church in the Kavango East Region celebrated the lives of the elderly by sharing a meal with them.

The annual event provides an opportunity for socialisation and connection, which reduces feelings of loneliness among the elderly.

Some residents in Katima Mulilo celebrated the annual Solidarity Christmas lunch and charity event for the less privileged.

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.
