The Dharm Shala, Home of Benevolence for All Races on December 25th held its annual Christmas lunch at its residence, at which Prime Minister Samuel Hinds was present, GINA reported.
The Prime Minister during his brief remarks recalled his many visits to the institution and pointed out that there have been some changes. Remembering some of the great souls who were once a part of the institution but have now passed on, the PM urged the gathering to make the most of the time they have.
GINA said that he then reflected on the celebration of Christmas in the olden days when the country wasn’t in such a good position and it was difficult to bake cakes because butter was rarely available.
He said it was a pleasure to be a part of the ceremony and share in the spirit of Christmas. He extended warm wishes on behalf of his family and self, as well as the government to the gathering. He also extended best wishes to the Ramsaroop family, and commended them for the wonderful job they have been doing, GINA said.
