Umuganda: coming together in common purpose to achieve an outcome.
In Rwanda, there is a mandatory community service day from 8:00am to 11:00am, on the last Saturday of each month called Umuganda meaning community service. The day is called umunsi w’umuganda, meaning “contribution made by the community", which is designed to be a day of contribution and building the country by citizens themselves. By law all able bodied persons above the age of 18 and below 65 are expected to participate in volunteer community work. The start of this practice goes back to colonial times and is still practiced today.
Be awesome to someone: Do something kind for someone without telling them you're going to do it, without expecting anything in return, and without promoting that you've done it - just quietly and without any fanfare.
