After bonding over beers and a shared passion for education, Gwaxula invited Lief to live with him in the township. Inspired by their fortuitous meeting--which brought together two men separated by race, nationality, and age, and by the spirit of ubuntu, roughly translated as 'I am because you are'--the two men embarked on an unexpectedly profound journey. Their vision? To provide vulnerable children in the townships with what every child deserves--everything. Today, their organization, Ubuntu Education Fund, is upending conventional wisdom about how to break the cycle of poverty"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 362.70968 Li Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.70968 Lief Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.70968 Li Checked In Add Copy to MyList
