Ubuntu - email forwarded by Kamalini Kanapathippillai


Dear Friends
Please read it (once/twice) and then pass it on to others.

Let us learn a lesson from them and implement in our lives.
Shall we? Can we?
Regards

An anthropologist proposed a game to the kids in an African tribe. He put a basket full of fruits near a tree and told the kids that who ever got there first wins the sweet fruits.
When he told them to run, they all took each others hands and ran together, then all sat together enjoying their treats.
When he asked them, why they had run like that as one could have had all the fruits for himself, they said:''UBUNTU, how can one of us be happy if all the other ones are sad?''
'UBUNTU' in the Xhosa culture means:
"I am, because we are."
