Oh how the times have changed...

So it's been awhile since the last blog update. Sorry to keep you all waiting. We all want to apologize to the old Ubuntu members who are all over the country and the world because we're sure they want to hear about the goings on of this years community and feel out of touch with their old home. So, we're happy to announce a revitalization of the blog! Just some updates on what's been going on.
We moved.
The best couch didn't make it.
Africa is alive?
We have a large community.
We are a smelly hippy commune bent on radical love and the like.
Falafel is our food of choice.
Cheap rum and Old Style the drink of choice.
Simple living, community, spirituality, justice.......what?
Mexican dudes work in our backyard.
We had a phallic gourd. We ate it.
Un payaso me vendó la madre de vos pero ella se fue con todo mi plata y el perro también. Qué lástima.
That's pretty much it.

Farewell dear Cassie

Just this Tuesday the community said farewell to Cassie who is now pursuing great adventures with her study abroad program in New Zealand. You are already so missed!

Updates and upcoming events:

Keep your eyes out for Documentary Nights and House Mass!

Take advantage of A Season of Nonviolence!

I would just like to take this time on behalf of the Ubuntu Community to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season. Let us all hope, pray, and work actively for a peaceful and loving world in the new year. Blessings on your family and friends. Peace.

We also would like to give thanks for the safe return of two of our community, Katia and Mackenzie!! It's so nice to have them back and we're all very excited to live with them this semester.

We also want to wish Cassie good luck as she prepares to leave in February for a semester in New Zealand. Have fun, good luck, and be safe!
