Chairman of the association, Sunil Singh, said the function was an opportunity to celebrate the contribution of the older generation to society.
“Lighthouse Community Services salutes our senior citizens. They are the founding pillars of our community and this event is to pay tribute and celebrate the vital role they play, both in the family and in the community.”
He explained that this non-profit organisation was formed in March 2015 and its primary objectives are to engage senior citizens in activities that will keep their bodies fit and minds sharp, paying regular visits to their homes, providing them with food parcels, encouraging awareness campaigns to remind the community to respect their elders and to assist with lessening the living expenses incurred by the elderly.
Mr Singh thanked everyone who helped to make this function magical for the seniors.
