My Community’s Response to Crisis
Thinker Village is a large community where I live. It’s located within district six in Montserrado County, Liberia. This is a place I hold very dear to my heart as I’ve lived here with my immediate family for a period of four years. I’ve become very familiar with the culture of this community, taking into consideration how a crisis is responded to. To highlight, residents of Thinker's Village participate in a variety of customs, some of which are fishing, traditional dances, and music.
Residents of my community have an extraordinary way of responding to stimulus or harmonizing conflict when it arises in the community. For instance, when there's a serious misunderstanding or riot within the community, the community dwellers will come together to resolve the issue of conflict by inviting the both parties to settle down their disputes.
Furthermore, my neighborhood pays appropriate attention to a family that is affected by death, which is an unforeseeable occurrence. This is done during the time of burial, where the community dwellers contribute to the bereaved family by collecting money and providing work services during the time of bereavement as a way of sympathizing with the family for their loss.
My community has set up a watch forum to keep an eye on all community activities and, if needed, investigate them in order to prevent or stop disasters from happening there. Developing infrastructure and enhancing education are two methods my community uses to deal with emergencies.
In conclusion, my community is very united and has a welcoming atmosphere. Residents are always willing to work together and help each other in times of crisis. This has led to our community gradually becoming better in different aspects.
