Lerato and Ubuntu

It took a while, but we FINALLY got a group photo of the class with the students in their tshirts. These are students from Kgabareng School, and the photo doesn’t include those attending Thabang, Rehauhetswe or Kgolagano as those students made different designs. You’ll see them in upcoming posts!

Yesterday was an absolute riot at the PPCAC. Students from Kgabareng Primary School have worked terrifically hard the past 4 weeks preparing their logos. These logos were crafted from a prompt to create a campaign for “Tolerance to people living with HIV”. Students were divided into 4 groups but only 2 were selected through a class vote. These two designs are absolutely brilliant and we are pleased as punch. ”Lerato” is Sesotho for “Love,” as is “Uthando” in Xhosa. Ubuntu, a much more complicated concept, is best expressed in the Botswana mission (as “Botho”):
Botho defines a process for earning respect by first giving it, and to gain empowerment by empowering others. It encourages people to applaud rather than resent those who succeed. It disapproves of anti-social, disgraceful, inhuman and criminal behaviour, and encourages social justice for all.
