![[From PLAN in the Philippines:]
“Community is defined as a feeling that
members have of belonging, a feeling
that members matter to one another
and to the group, and a shared faith
that member’s needs will be met
through their commitment to be
together”
McMILLAN AND CHAVIS (1986)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
