Don's Net Cafe in Santa Barbara supports the campaign in many ways

Santa Barbara Dons Net Cafe

The Enterprise at Santa Barbara High School

Dons Net Café of Santa Barbara High School, is a student run class committed to their mission of pioneering new business models of responsible entrepreneurship through their practice of Ethonomics (ethics/economics).

Dons Net Café  promotes the Do Ubuntu Bracelet Campaign, selected by the students after watching Louise Hogarth’s documentary 'Angels in the Dust'. They have imported and sold the handmade bracelets with 100% of the profits benefiting South African orphanages impacted by the HIV/AIDS crisis.

Last summer one of the student traveled to South Africa to take gifts from the Dons Net Cafe to the Botshabelo orphanage.  In the picture they are wearing customized DNC shirts . DNC sent school supplies, kazoos (which none of the adults knew how to use but the kids figured out immediately). 

"We were ecstatic by this connection after three years of involvement.  We are honored to share that we are designing the new Do Ubuntu T-Shirt.  Stay tuned"

The Virtual Enterprise students want to inspire the realization for individuals to create positive social and environmental change through ethical commerce and service learning. Services include free tax-filing services for low income families (for the past 15 years), Roots and Shoots Club, Do Ubuntu bracelet campaign sales, cell phone recycling, customized products manufacturing, street/beach clean-ups, graffitti removal, fair-trade coffee sales, bulk tea sales, and healthy snack sales.

"This class is not for pretenders, we work hard, we play hard and if you are not pulling your weight it shows right away.  There is room for everyone to do good and together for us to create social and environmental change.  It is amazing what we are able to do and what we have accomplished.  We have really done some good in the world".  Maria Vallejo-CEO.
