Boston College and University of Michigan, South Africa
Mission Statement
We are team Ubuntu, consisting of three college students dedicated to empowering children through education. We believe that knowledge is a right, and that learning does not start nor stop in the classroom. Following the Ubuntu philosophy: "I am what I am because of who we all are," our team's mission is to work alongside the children to strengthen communities. We have chosen to work in Cape Town, where one member studied abroad and has had extensive volunteer experience. It is important to us that children in large, urban areas are not forgotten in this effort. Computers and Internet access are not necessarily accessible to children in Gugulethu.
