4. Motivation

Stop the box

​ There are box that contains

pictures about community. I will give it
to the students and they need to pass
it in everyone and when the music
stops, the student that holds the box
is they are the one who pick what's
inside the box. They need to identify if
the picture is involved in the
community or not and give short
explanations. Finding people who share our
experiences, values, and interests is
what reminds us of our worth and that
we're not alone. Being a part of a
community provides us with this
much-needed feeling of belonging. It
can empower us to do better and
grow.

This is not part of a community

because it is use in social media.

It is part of a community because the

purpose of a school community is to
enhance engagement between the
various stakeholders, including school
administration, parents or guardians,

empower the students to learn better.
 It is part of the community because
Hospitals play a vital role in our lives.
Their importance lies in saving lives,
promoting health, and providing
essential medical services.

It is part of the community because

the sari-sari store provides easy

to the nearest market town, which
may be quite far from the village itself.

one? you can do to help your community to
become an ideal one. First, it involves
identifying the problems that you can
