Ahdaf believes strong and cohesive communites will help build a strong and cohesive civil society in Palestine. So what does “community” mean to you? I’ve been looking at how other people describe community, and this is one of the best descriptions I found:

“A neighbourhood with people, green space, children, service and commerce, recreation, and some sense of bond between those who live there. A collection of people who share a common experience and who can work together to support each other, create things to make their lives better, and unify a voice toward better conditions in part based on their common understanding of each others reality. Respect, solidarity, care and love for others.”

What does community mean to you? How can we make communites better, stronger, work together to improve everyone’s lives?
