Sobonfu Somé sums it perfectly with this definition of community. "Community is the spirit, the guiding light of the tribe, whereby people come together in order to fulfill a specific purpose, to help others fulfill their purpose, and to take care of one another. The goal of community is heard and is properly giving the gifts he/she has brought to this world. Without this giving, the community dies. And without the community, the individual is left without a place where he/she can contribute. The community is that grounding place where people come and share their gifts and receive from others.”
