Vuniwaqa also took the time to acknowledge the caregivers at the home for their dedication in creating a loving environment for the elderly.

For Laisa Tubevu who is a resident at the home, the day reminded her of all the song and dance people would break into at her home in Vanuabalavu Lau at this time of the year.

Tubevu says that this Christmas Party has brought back fond memories of her home and family, however she is grateful to have shared the day with other residents she has come to also call her family.

Meanwhile, Vuniwaqa was accompanied to the homes’ celebration by her 2-year-old son, Permanent Secretary Dr Josefa Koroivueta and senior officials of the Ministry making it a day to remember for the residents.
