the connectedness of people around the world
UBUNTU
“(Ubuntu) is part of the gift that Africa will give the world.
It embraces hospitality, caring about others, being able to go the extra mile for the sake of others. We believe that a person is a person through another person, that my humanity is caught up, bound up, inextricably, with with yours.
When I dehumanise you, I inexorably dehumanise myself. The solitary human being is a contradiction in terms and therefore you seek to work for the common good because your humanity comes into its own in belonging”.
— Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Hi Molly - It's Deborah :). I just wanted to say hi and let you know that I'm out here checking in on you from time to time! In addition from spending time with Annika a big highlight to my week is checking in on your blog and learning more about what you're doing, where you are and I am enjoying yours (and Eric's) pictures so very much. You've always amazed and inspired me - and you are certainly continuing to do so.
I miss you! Big hugs <3
it is so fun to see your name pop w/ facebook comments, and to find glimpses of your world here. you are on my mind often, and i'm so proud of you.
