What is the meaning of Ubuntu? - The Ubuntu experience explained by Nelson Mandela

Listen to Nelson Mandela, the former president of South Africa as he briefly explains the meaning of "Ubuntu":

Archbishop Desmond Tutu explains it in 2008 as follows:

"One of the sayings in our country is Ubuntu - the essence of being human. Ubuntu speaks particularly about the fact that you can't exist as a human being in isolation. It speaks about our interconnectedness. You can't be human all by yourself, and when you have this quality - Ubuntu - you are known for your generosity."

"We think of ourselves far too frequently as just individuals, separated from one another, whereas you are connected and what you do affects the whole world. When you do well, it spreads out; it is for the whole of humanity."

The DO Ubuntu Orphan Bracelet and the documentary "Angels in the Dust" speak to our interconnectedness and the responsibility to each other that flows from our connection.
