Ubuntu: I am because you are

"Ubuntu, a traditional African philosophy, recognizes how we are inextricably bound in each other’s humanity. Translated as, “I am because you are,” Ubuntu describes a sense of unity between people through which we each discover our own strengths and virtues. Featuring healer Credo Mutwa, GreenHouse Project director Dorah Lebelo, and former Deputy Minister of Health Nozizwe Madlala-Routledge, this glimpse of South Africa shows compassion as a way of life." - from Global Oneness

Ode also featured an article about Ubuntu in the September 2004 issue.

It is always nice to be reminded of ideals. And interesting to see how they translate into daily life. Thanks for this post. Anne in Japan

We would be wise to adopt Ubuntu as personal and national statements of who we are.
