An anthropologist proposed a game to the kids in a African tribe. He put a basket full of fruit near a tree and told the kids that who ever got there first won the sweet fruits.
When he told them to run, they all took each others hands and ran together, then sat together enjoying their threats. When he asked them why they had run like that as one could have had all the fruits for himself.
The kids replied: "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 ".
