Ubuntu: putting community first

This Blog is part of an occasional series by CVSL’s Visiting Fellow, Dr Helen Britton.

This blog briefly explores the term ‘Ubuntu’ (oo-BUUN-too). If you are into Linux operating systems, you will have heard this term. This blog is not concerned with software but with the notion of putting community first. Pivotal to the Ubuntu philosophy is the importance and value of the human being (munthu) and the community.
