When people are busy preparing for their holidays hardly do we think about these people. It is against this background that helping hand a community based organisation held a Christmas party for this vulnerable group at Anglican church in Masvingo City on Sunday 4 December. Speaking at the function the chairman of Helping Hand Mr Gerald Maguta highlighted that "it is our duty as a community to look after each other and make sure the joy we need in our lives is also extended to these people. They deserve to be happy as well. Let's make it a tradition to help our mothers sisters brothers who are in need in our community. More than 60 vulnerable were part of the celebration.
