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.

@Ken I was just thinking about the Ubuntu operating system on my laptop! ;-)
Thank you for sharing this, Cami!! What a great baby-wearing vid, too, and I know a wee bairn is one of the items on your BIG list :o) I've used a traditional baby shawl carrier from The Rebozo Way for the past 18 years or so ~ lifesaver!
Celebrate Life & living ~ I AM!
Ubuntu, Namaste, Love & Light

Love , , , , , ?
Ubuntu , , , is also a Free Source Software . . . . is the Hypnotic Trance of Lopsided Materialism Losing it Grip
on the Spirit of many , , , ?
Ubuntu software , free source Internet ,29 days , ,, , Hearts being freed from the grip of Competition and Personal Greed in so many ways now , , , , , , Yes , , , I see the Joyous Liberating Lessons of Ubuntu being adopted everywhere.

I am feeling this,
my spirit was so inspired by this philosophy, so lost in the US.
