In this harsh eco­nom­ic time, mem­bers of the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) To­co/ San­gre Grande ex­ec­u­tive de­cid­ed to ho­n­our moth­ers. One of the re­cip­i­ents was cen­te­nar­i­an Math­ar Far­ria of Church Street, Matu­ra.

Far­ria, who turned 103 in Feb­ru­ary, wel­comed the gift and ham­per, but not be­fore ask­ing ques­tions, as to why mem­bers were wear­ing masks on their faces.

Still phys­i­cal­ly and men­tal­ly fit, she wel­comed mem­bers and thanked them for think­ing of her and mak­ing her re­call her Moth­er’s Day with her chil­dren.

It was not just Moth­er’s Day alone that Far­ria was cel­e­brat­ing, she is al­so a grand, great­grand, great great grand moth­er as well. She thanked God for her life and for the peo­ple who can vis­it and make moth­ers hap­py.
