A Lifespire ‘Christmas Carol’ for seniors
Clients of Lifespire, a Jamaica-based organization that assists
developmentally disabled adults, held their annual Christmas show
on Tuesday for a group of elders from the Friendship Senior Center,
also in Jamaica. They performed scenes from “A Christmas Carol,”
sang holiday songs and danced, much to the delight of those in
attendance. Nadira Cumberbatch, a counselor with Lifespire, said
the event gives a sense of normalcy and pride to the
participants.
