Habari gani? Ujima. As I meditate upon the third Kwanzaa principle on this day, it is essential that I examine my role as part of the collective community to determine if I’m doing enough to contribute towards its future survival and prosperity. In addition, if I can use my talents and skills to lend another person support to resolve a problem, then I ask the Creator for guidance to do so.
Today I will take a step to doing something that helps restore and renew my community to ensure its continued progress for future generations.
