Ujima...Collective Work and Responsibility

Today, on the third day of Kwanzaa, reflect on Ujima.

 
UJIMA
Ujima, pronounced "oo-GEE-mah" means Collective Work and Responsibility where we are encouraged to build and maintain our community together and make our brother's and sister's problems our problems and to solve them together.  This day reminds us of our obligation to the past, present and future, and that we have a role to play in the community, society, and world.

Symbols of Kwanzaa
