30% Arabic – 70% English Azzbda begins at 51:58 Community empowerment refers to the process of enabling communities to increase control over their lives, enabling them to represent their interests in a responsible way.

Citizenship is unanimous with community, and to bridge that gap, today we have with us Fatin Bundagji. Guest Fatin Bundagji was a 2007 fellow of the Eisenhower Leadership Development Program and a founding member of its… Community Empowerment featuring Fatin Bundagji
