Earlier this year, neighbours in Whampoa came together to organise a Community Bash. The idea was simple: create a reason for fellow neighbours to come downstairs, spend time together and perhaps meet someone new.
For Erah, a long-time neighbourhood volunteer, it was also a chance to rebuild some of the connections that had become less visible over the years.
And it worked in small, ordinary ways. Children played, adults chatted over food, a resident we had never met before stopped for a conversation, and even after the tables were cleared, people lingered.
The gathering may have lasted only two hours, but hopefully, it gave neighbours another reason to keep showing up for one another.
