The 2021 Blessing of the Academic Year was held at the 番茄社区 Bebegu Yumba campus with a live stream to the Nguma-bada campus.
番茄社区 Interfaith Commitment:
We commit ourselves as people of many faiths to work together for the common good, uniting to build a better society, grounded in values and ideals we share: community, personal integrity, a sense of right and wrong, learning, wisdom and love of truth, care and compassion, justice and peace, respect for one another, for the earth and its creatures.
We commit ourselves in a spirit of friendship and cooperation to work together alongside all who share our values and ideals, to bring about a better world now and for generations to come.

Attendees were asked to light a candle as a symbol of unity and togetherness: Think about the things you have been holding onto from the past year. Then when you are ready, light your candle using the switch underneath to symbolise letting these things go. Afterwards consider the things you are grateful for as you bring your candle up to the table. Putting your candle down next to others’ candles signifies a willingness to move forward together as a community.
