We all want to live in a harmonious community that’s free from harm. But how can you build a community that fits the lifestyle and security that you want?
The only way is to engage, take a step, and help. Every one counts in making sure that everything will work pleasantly. A neighborhood, after all, works best when people come together to make a change.
Start change by making sure that your neighborhood is at its best this new year. Below are some few things that you can do to make your tiny community better.
Reach out
Living in your neighborhood will be more fun if you and your fellow neighbors care for each other. Don’t be afraid to reach out to them. You and your neighbors are the only one who can look after each other’s houses and families in case of emergencies.
Report crime
Seen any alarming occurrences in your neighborhood? Don’t let these occurrences turn into something dangerous. Report it right away to your Home Owners Association or to the local security.
Clean up
Having a safe community is not enough. Another way to improve your neighborhood is through taking care of it. Pick up your litter, create new garbage cans, sweep your backyard. Making your neighborhood greener makes living in it more prosperous.
Draw neighbors together
Your neighborhood will be stronger if there’s a strong bond between all the families that live in there. Ask your HOA to create events that will bond the families more. Play dates in the park with children, Sunday brunches, green initiatives. These are just examples of what you and your neighbors can do together.
Create an emergency preparedness center
Emergencies and accidents happen when we least expect them. We all know how the Philippines is always bombarded with calamities. Having an emergency preparedness center in your neighborhood can help the whole community just in case a disaster strikes.
Improve the playground and the library
An evidence of a good community is having kids that are well-rounded. Let your kids live their childhood by improving your neighborhood’s playground and parks. Give them access to good resources for their school work by asking the local government for a community library. Let the whole neighborhood chip in their own books that they think can help the children.
