Bringing Us Together

What does togetherness mean to you?

Togetherness might not be being physically together with others, but an emotionally and mentally supportive being together with them in Bangladesh. In our culture we have very strong relationships with our family and neighbors and friends. For example in village, people are helped each other to complete a community development work and help others in time of need, which is an example of unity. This togetherness is also expressed in celebrating the festivals in the cities in the company of the neighbors or in helping out when one in need. Sitting down to eat a meal or watching tv or just talking in families is still a way to create bonds of love.

To me, togetherness is being there for each other good and bad times. When someone is happy, we celebrate with them. If they’re sad, they often have us by their side. When there is a wedding in a village everyone pitches in to help prepare. This is a cultural tradition in which we are all participating.

How can we create a stronger sense of community in our lives?

Building Strong Community

Social activities and helping each other is very important in a crowd country like Bangladesh, which gradually built up the community. It can start with small acts. When everyone works together to fix a tube well or clean a mosque or temple in village makes the unity. Another way to bring people closer is to do things in cities, like help to collect money for a sick neighbor and give blanket the poor during winter.

In order to have a strong community we have to communicate with each other often and we have to be sincere to each other. Participating in social events like Eid, Puja, or Pahela Baishakh which meanders through helping one another is quite important. Building friendships with people who live next door in apartments can come a little easier if you live in a city and gather them for a holiday.

What activities do you think bring people closer together?

At 16 Dec 2023

If we can work together on an activity in Bangladesh then we are bringing people closer. In the case of Eid villagers sacrifice animals together and then share the meat. However, this not only a religious presence but it also a way of cementing relationships. For example helping each other to harvest crops during the harvest season.

In cities, taking people out for a family picnic and seeking cultural events unit everyone. Furthermore, cricket or football matches between neighborhood also help to make people work as a team.

What are some challenges to togetherness in today’s world?

A busy lifestyles is the biggest challenge to togetherness in bangladesh. In cities like Narayananj, Dhaka people work more and they don’t really have that time to spend with their family. Using technology spending too much time on phones or TV, this has the effect of distancing family and friends.

There are different challenges in villages. The families have been separated by many people going abroad for work. Economic differences and politics problems are also responsible for the lack of connections in relationships.

How can we support each other during tough times?

One good example is when helping other people in Bangladesh during tough times, in natural disasters. After floods or cyclones, villagers come together to bail out other affected people. When I lived in cities, neighbors would raise money if here was a person with financial troubles.

Family Time

Simple ways of helping members in families include accompanying a sick relative to hospital, sharing their responsibilities or simply offering emotional support. If a farmer were sick in the village, then neighbors would help the crops harvest. Listening to someone, and encouraging them during tough times just being there can go a long way.

In this way no situation will overcome the unity of our society if we help each other.
