Namibia: annual Christmas Party for the senior citizens in Walvis Bay

The Municipality of Walvis Bay held the annual Christmas Party for the senior citizens at the Walvis Bay Town Hall on Wednesday. This yearly celebration started many years ago and became a tradition, so that the senior citizens can celebrate the spirit of Christmas and catch up with long-lost friends. The Deputy Mayor along with a few of his councillors also attended the festivities. It was an excellent turn out: the Town Hall was filled to capacity with people and some even had to sit in the entrance hall. The senior citizens had to register this year if they'll be attending the Christmas Party. “We want to showcase our appreciation and gratitude to you as front-runners who carried the torch and build a strong foundation for Walvis Bay and our country”, Deputy Mayor Benson Uakumbua said. At the end of all the formalities, each and every citizen received something to eat, as well as early Christmas hampers, which included food packages that contained the daily necessities. Mr Uakumbua wished each and every one good health, a Merry Christmas and a happy, as well as a prosperous New Year.
