Second Blog check...Community Building to me.....

Community building to me is a way for the community to build up itself and the persons living in the community. Whether that is by having a garden planted by the persons living in that area. By having a pot luck night at a local community venue, the point is that a community builds itself up with the persons in the community. One can not have in my mind a community building without anybody trying to build up the community. Those two ideas have to go hand in hand.

Community building is another way to improve the area one lives in. That can be done by lets say a building in the area needs renovations and everyone in the community is going to help out by painting a wall, or an outside door and so on....

Other community buildings could be informational issues, such as letting a person know about a certain health issue that could readily affect them or someone they might very well know.

Some of the community organizations that are helping to build in Chicago or at least in the Chicago land area are for example CDC. While yes they help in the entire world they are also set up in every large city to help make sure persons living in that city are able to get, talk to and receive information that can be pregnant to some one's health. Another Chicago land organization that is building community are also non profit, for example those Near Northwest Neighborhood Network, where this organization has decided to help out the community by letting people know about housing that is available, jobs that a person might be able to fill and community safety and activities for the youth in the area to be involved with instead of doing things one could possibly regret later on in life. All of those are ways the community is building itself to be better in the city of Chicago. Like i said, a city can not have community building projects or community building in the slightest without the persons willing to put in the work to help the community. In all both community and persons go hand in hand and as along as there are people wanting to help in a community those communities will always for the most part be able to have community buildings and organizations dedicated to helping out the community around them. It is just up to everyone to lend a hand and contribute.
