Community Bonding

Traditionally a ‘community’ has been defined as a group of interacting people living in a common location. The word is often used to refer to a group that is organized around common values and is attributed with social cohesion within a shared geographical location, generally in social units larger than a household.

If community exists, both freedom and security may exist as well. The community then takes on a life of its own, as people become free enough to share and secure enough to get along. The sense of connectedness and formation of social networks comprise what has become known as social capital.

Most of Kokanis stay abroad for better prospects. When living abroad for an extended period of time bonding with community can be a challenging. But nowadays this could be possible thanks to the Internet and social networking sites.

Be as active as possible in the social networking sites, as on this site, one can share his ideas, interests and activities across political, economical, and geographical borders with no cost; thus will help in bonding strong relationship with our community.

One should also believe that it is very important to return back to the community what we have earned and learned from the society. Those who have migrated to foreign lands in search of better prospects shall contribute any significant achievement for our community in the race of development and progress. By sharing the knowledge/skills with the community will inspire, motivate and build confident within our youngsters and thus prosper our community social being.

By changing our attitude, way of thinking and being responsible would definitely help to develop our community effectively. Its individual responsibility to change the trend and we all will be responsible for it.
