Do You Want the Warmth but Hate the Work?

  https://www.spreaker.com/episode/love-the-gatherer--69645952 We all want the warmth of the fire. We want the goods, the services, and the convenience. But how do we treat the person who went out into the cold to get the wood? Today is Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics), and we are having a hard conversation about how we treat the "gatherers" in our community. In this episode, I break down a powerful Ugandan proverb that forces us to look in the mirror. Are we consumers who complain, or are we community members who support?

All they have to do is look something up on their smart phone. I would be satisfied if I witnessed this going on more but I don't. Now I must state this is simply my observation and i am sharing it because I am looking for someone out there that can encourage me by stating that they are around a majority of friends, family, a students that are out in the world trying to learn and share new information.
