“We don’t need unity in theory, we need
solidarity in practice” Curious George Brigade, anarchy in the age of Dinosaurs
Solidarity can be defined as a bond/unity
between or among persons bonded by the same unifying principles. In the lay
man’s linguistic tenable, we can refer to it as being fully and lively present
to the other. We live our solidarity in a meaningful way by keenly being
attentive to the needs of others; CHARITY.
In Lavigerie House I have observed
that we actually manifest solidarity in two dimensions; first in the interior;
within our family which begins from the team since we live in teams. Secondly,
in the exterior; where we extend to people outside our community, that is, the
consortium (Philosophy Centre Jinja), our pastoral places and the rest of the
communities around us.
