Day 3: Ujima - Collective Work & Responsibility

Habari Gani? Ujima (collective work and responsibility) U-JI-MA - to build and maintain our community together and make our sister's and brother's problems our problems and to solve them together.
The third principle of the Nguzo Saba is a commitment to active and informed togetherness on a subject of common interest. It also recognizes the need for collective work and struggle without which progress is impossible and liberation unthinkable.

Akoma ntoaso-the Adinkra (picture) is a symbol of shared effort and obligation. Ujima focuses on African freedom as indivisible, active cooperation, and the challenge of culture and history.
Harambee!
