It takes a village to raise a child.
An African proverb
In a South African context this proverb is extricably linked to the value or principle of “Ubuntu.” People have different interpretations of this value but the key message to take from this value is that no one is an island and we should care for the welfare of others like we do for ourselves. It is with this understanding that we come together to share resources, a common mission, and the belief that learning about our past helps us understand our present to build a more hopeful future.
