Executive Summary
The decline in community engagement and the rise in social issues, such as substance abuse, crime, and violence, have become significant challenges in our community. This proposal seeks to acquire a full set of musical instruments to revitalize interest in church services and foster community cohesion. By integrating music into our church activities, we aim to create a positive environment that encourages all community members — especially the youth — to participate, thereby mitigating the aforementioned social problems.
Background
Recent observations indicate a dwindling interest in church activities, which has correlated with an increase in negative behaviors within the community, including smoking marijuana, alcohol abuse, and crime. These issues not only disrupt community harmony but also affect the overall well-being and future of our youth. To combat this trend, it is crucial to create engaging and positive outlets for community members.
Objectives
- Enhance Community Engagement: Foster a sense of belonging and participation in church activities through music.
- Redirect Negative Behaviors: Provide a productive alternative to substance abuse and crime by involving community members in musical and spiritual activities.
- Strengthen Community Bonds: Encourage collaboration and unity through shared musical experiences.
Proposed Solution
To achieve these objectives, we propose the acquisition of a full set of musical instruments, including but not limited to:
- Guitars
- Keyboards
- Drums
- Microphones
- Sound system
These instruments will be used in church services, community events, and music training programs for the youth.
Implementation Plan
-
Instrument Acquisition:
- Identify local suppliers or manufacturers for high-quality musical instruments.
- Submit a formal request to the Morobe Provincial Government for funding and support.

- Schedule regular practice sessions to prepare for church services and community events.

Community Events:
- Organize monthly musical gatherings and special events that encourage participation from all community members.
- Promote these events through local media, community bulletins, and social networks to maximize outreach.
-
Evaluation and Feedback:
- Regularly assess participation levels and community feedback to gauge the success of the initiative and make necessary adjustments.
- Create a feedback mechanism that allows community members to voice their opinions and suggestions.
