December 29 The fourth day of Kwanzaa Ujamaa (oo-jah-MAH) Ujamaa means sharing
People share the work. They also share the money they make from working. The candles of the first three nights are lit. Then the fourth candle is lit. It is a red one. There are now one black, two red and one green candle burning. Parents like to have the children light the candles. A child gets to be the first one to tell about the principle. This helps him or her remember what the principle means. The child lighting the candles this night might say, "Our class needs some new books. Everyone is going to bring some money. Together we will have enough to buy some books. We can all share them." The parents might talk about starting a business with some friends. They would share the work and the money. An uncle might share the money from his job with the family. Everyone talks about working and sharing. Then they pour and drink from the cup. |
