UBUNTU

"An anthropologist proposed a game to African tribe kids. He put a basket full of fruit near a tree and told them that whoever got there first won the sweet fruits. When he told them to run they all took each others hands and ran together,... then sat together enjoying their treats. When he asked them why they had run like that as one could have had all the fruits for himself they said: UBUNTU, how can one of us be happy if all the other ones are sad?

UBUNTU in the Xhosa culture means: "I am because we are".

Mojo

The word "mojo" that has been around for almost 100 years has African roots. It is said to refer to a small bag containing a magic charm (often a red flannel cloth) and herbs that is tied with a draw string and worn under clothes to bring good luck.

Mojo is now used to mean "finding the magic in what we do."  To have "lost your mojo," refers to a loss of inspiration or creative genius; a loss of that special spark. 

We want to do whatever it takes so that everyone who has a connection to Esperanza has and keeps mojo.
