Introduction
Community is a group of people who live in a same area, wherein they have same needs in their
everyday lives and also meet same problems that they have to deal with.
A group of people living in same area is not considered a community without the unity of the people in
that particular place. Community is also considered as the unity of the people having a good intention for one
another. Unity of these people will enable them to surpass different problems they are facing and find new and
effective ways on how can they have a better and prosperous lives. This unity will lead them to the development
of their place that will make their lives a lot easier.

members of the community specifically the volunteer catechist and children. This will help the volunteer
catechist to develop their skills in teaching and this activity will inspire them more to be a good community
