The Umoja Village

I was lucky to stumble upon this video, it's inspiring and makes you want to do some good in the world. There is a place in Miami called Umoja Village...a plot of land where homeless people have united to create a village. Chores are shared, shanti houses are built by village dwellers, and each person does their part to make sure the village prospers. If the homeless who have little to nothing can show such a powerful display of unity, why can't everyone else in this country? I don't even know these people but I can honestly say that I am proud of them. They are setting an example for the rest of our country. Make the best of each situation, and united we stand. Enjoy:
