A community is a place where people live, work and play.

We are citizens of a community.  A citizen is a person who lives in a community and has certain rights and responsibilities.

Rights are things that you deserve, such as food, water and healthcare.  Children also have the right to a safe and happy life.

Responsibilities are things that you are expected to do, such as being respectful, helping others, sharing and taking care of yourself.

Listen to What Can a Citizen Do?  by Dave Eggers and Shawn Harris.  This book is about what it means to be a citizen and how you can make the world a better place.
