u00a0"It's Christmas, a season of caring and giving. We want to spread the joy and share our happiness with the elderly who have been left behind. Most people have been kept at the old-age home because their families can't keep them. We wanted to give them something special, and nothing seemed better than a surprise visit," he adds.
