One hundred and thirty-nine children residing at the Lovu Housing Assistance Relief Trust (HART) homes in Lautoka were hosted to a Christmas party by Being Helping Hand Fiji on December 18.

The group’s Lautoka co-ordinator Cedric Steven said this was the first time they hosted a Christmas party for children of these homes.

“We chose Lovu HART homes for this event because we visited them on numerous occasions to assist residents living there with food assistance and other needs which is how we saw a huge number of kids living there.”

“Most were not able to get everything which normal working parents can provide,” he said.

The event included a presentation of gifts to the children, entertainment and dinner.

“In terms of the programme hosted we basically had an introduction part of what the event was all about.”

“Also, the introduction and welcoming of the guest of honour along with the entertainment by Santa Claus,” he said

“Our intention was to put a smile on these kids’ faces and let them also feel the spirit of Christmas by hosting a Christmas party for them.”
