Poverty

No Comment

Written By : Mohammed Khalid. International Women’s Day attracted a long statement from Dr Luveni (SS 8/3). The good doctor was a National Task Force leader which had poverty affairs to report on.

Written By : Ravind C Naidu Labasa. Praneet Singh’s letter (FS 6/3) made me burst into laughter. It really made my day. Good one indeed. We certainly look forward to some more doze of similar medicine for laughter from time to time. A lot of us need it to endure depression.
