Ujima stands for - Collective work and responsibility.
During this time we must remind ourselves to build and maintain our community together and identify our sister’s and brother’s problems and assist them by providing a solution.
In order to celebrate Ujima we must light the green candle next to the black candle (Umoja). As we light this candle, we reflect on our family and our community. If you see our members in our community struggling with something we can offer a resolution.
We are here to help one another. We need each other more and more each day. Lend a helping hand, encourage one another and above all... love one each other.
There is a proverb that says, "A bundle cannot be fastened with one hand".
The explanation is that, no man is completely self-sufficient. We have need of each other.
