Some old people in Cyprus are sad. They feel alone at New Year. Sick people also feel alone. This makes some people worried. Holidays should be happy times.
New Year is for parties. But some people are not happy. They feel alone. Life is fast now. Families are far away. People are tired.
Old people have health problems. They cannot move well. Sickness stops them. They stay at home. They miss seeing friends. Losing a husband or wife is hard. The first holiday is sad.
A leader said, "Some homes are dark." He said, "Some people are alone. They have no one."
Being alone is bad. It makes people feel weak. This is more true at holidays. If no one helps, health can get worse. Some people do not ask for help.
We must be with them. People need help to go out. They need friends. We must share joy. We must help those who need it.
