Ujamaa (U-JA-MA): Cooperative economics

Hotep, Peace and Blessings Family! This is your Brother Sneferu, bringing more mind to matters at hand! Though the end-of-year and new year hype has subsided, the principles of Kwanzaa remains! After my household blew out our candles for the last day (Imani), during the Kwanzaa celebration (Dec. 26th- Jan.1st), a look of disappointment came over my girls. "Awwww Daddy, is Kwanzaa over?!", my girls sternly asked. I quickly said, "Not at all . . .just the week of celebration. The principles and practice, are to be ongoing daily and all-year around!" That left the girls with a sense of contentment, and smiles on their faces. All the principles are sound, and gradually build on one another. My impending concerns, for the economic outlooks of our communities --at home and abroad-- is the lack of Ujamaa; the lack of cooperative economics. With that said, let's get into today!

SOLUTIONS:

Support businesses, functions and community organizations that exemplify Ujamaa!
Consider what and how far, the things your monies help to build --good and/or bad.
Are your own skills, knowledge or expertise transferable to your family, community or nation? It's not good enough to be transferable just to corporate entities --even when they say they're being socially responsible businesses?
