Erion Veliaj having lunch with the old at Gonxhe Bojaxhiu social center
As with every holiday, the Municipality of Tirana has prepared lunch for the families in need. In the "Gonxhe Bojaxhiu" social refectory the Christmas lunch is served by the Tirana Municipality employees.
"To all those who live in the Gonxhe Bojaxhiu social center who are of Christian faith, we wish you a happy Christmas because above all is your party. Be always happy and we wish just good and joy in your families! Happy! But I want to wish everyone else, no matter what faith have, the Christmas holiday is a celebration that is not only celebrated by those who are believers and remember the birth of Christ but is also a reminder for all of us others. No matter what faith we are in order to donate love, to give it all by little for Christmas," Veliaj said.The citizens of Tirana have been very solidarity in this festive month for the families in need, but Veliaj called for generosity and solidarity to exist every month of the year: "If this December was a record where people donated toys, clothes, food and all of Tirana celebrated throughout the month, I believe we can have here all the monthsof the year. Why not continue in January, in February and on. Therefore, my call is for all those who have the opportunity, be it individuals, families, companies: as we had this spirit of solidarity during December, we should continue throughout the year."
