Practical Village Concept # 2: Village Event's Calendar

The second village concept is to have a calendar for annual village events. The councillor and village elders should get together and pick out significant traditional cultures and assigned dates of the year for these events to take place. The year should be planned out strategically so that people have the time to prepare well for each event. These events and their scheduled dates should be made known to the villagers such that it becomes a part of them. Examples of these annual events could be a "Village day" (similar to Provincial day), Canoe Racing Day, End of year celebration, and the list goes on. Once these events become annual events, it will become attraction events for tourists to come celebrate, enjoy and provide income for the people as these events are regular annual events with specific dates for them to happen. This idea again is attributed to my elder sibling for another brilliant practical village concept.

Practical Village Concept # 1: Village Census Data Keeping

This is my first post on the topic of village improvement in terms of living standards and quality livelihood of the village people. This first concept I wish to point out is that of a database or record of all the people that live within the village to be made, kept and maintained. The idea is that, the village councillor, as part of his duties to collect all the information of the individuals and families within his village and kept as his record for the village. Every six months or at the end of every year he/she should conduct a village census and keep a record of the village's own population. In that way when the country conducts its population census, the village will be prepared and have readily available the village census information to provide to the country's population census office. The data could also be utilized for other ways to improve the quality of life for the people. I attribute this concept to my elder sibling for this very practical idea.
