Community Engagement

Week 9-10

INTRODUCTION

with the environment.

In most parts of the country and in the whole world, there is an indication of social

injustice, inequality, poverty, and there is an increasing social disintegration and

environmental degradation. In this kind of circumstance, the voiceless and less in income
