Community relations is the most important aspect of a
society. Companies giving back to its communities in which they resides aids
and assist the communities. In this case the association which gave out laptops
and books to the secondary school students in plateau have carried out a
research on the community and noticed the students of the school are lacking
those basic amenities. The world being a global village right now it’s right
for companies, organizations or associations who have the capacity to do
something in the community in which they reside in to give back to the
communities either the one they reside in or the one around them. Finding out
what communities need or require can be done through various methods; meeting
with the local government chairman’s, hosting a get together, meetings with
reputable elders in the society/ community. The Association has done a very
great job in giving out books and laptops/system to the students of Tal
secondary school; the world being a global village now the students won’t lack.
We will review and take appropriate action.
