Ms Vuniwaqa, while addressing the audience, emphasised the importance of giving without receiving and remembering those who were less fortunate as we approach the festive season.
“This Christmas season I encourage everyone to put your personal interests aside and come forward to render services, either to your community, family or your work colleagues,” she said.

The “Light the World” campaign is a global Christmas initiative launched by The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints encouraging people around the world.
