I devoted myself to community service because I believe in service to humanity. After all, it is the best work of life.

Since I engaged myself in this community service, there have been a lot of changes among the people, and this act of service to humanity has also helped and opened the faces of many people in devoting themselves to community service.

This reminds me of when I was small, I could recall vividly what landlords in my area used to do every last Saturday of the month. They usually come together each of them with their working implements and those of them with Cutlasses will begin to clear the bushes others will also engage themselves in other things as a division of labor.
This act of community service has fostered peace among the people of the community and every one of them has been living in love with each other.

Some advantages of community development are that;
