The world is one big community, which is divided into numerous communities that we call our neighborhood. The people we see, meet, speak with every other day are the immediate inhabitants of our neighborhood and we always thrive to help each other during crisis situation. However, humanitarian work teach us to help not only those who are a part of our neighborhood but also others.
