Ubuntu

 ”Ubuntu is a concept in the Bantu Language.

It is about the essence of Humanness. Simply put: ‘people are people through other people.’ A concept perfectly captured by the phrase “me we.” No one comes into the world fully formed. We would not know how to think or walk or speak or behave unless we learned it from our fellow human beings.

We need other human beings in order to be human. I am human because I belong.”


-Archbishop Desmond Tutu
