keychain

(oo-boon-too) n.  Zulu or Xhosa word, a traditional African concept.

Ubuntu is a term for humaneness, for caring, sharing and being in harmony with all of creation.
“Africans have a thing called ubuntu. It is about the essence of being human, it is part of the gift that Africa will give the world. It embraces hospitality, caring about others, being willing to go the extra mile for the sake of another. We believe that a person is a person through other persons, that my humanity is caught up, bound up, inextricably, with yours. When I dehumanize you, I inexorably dehumanize myself. The solitary human being is a contradiction in terms. Therefore you seek to work for the common good because your humanity comes into its own in community, in belonging.”
Archbishop Desmond Tutu

This key chain will remind you of our inherent interconnectedness. Live with ubuntu!

The keychains were made in Cape Town by Vince and Lizzie. They support their own 2 children and 4 kids of her brother who died, doing beautiful beadwork.
The borders of the key rings come in different colors: red, purple, blue and yellow. If you have a color preference, please fill it in when ordering.

If you order it with a t-shirt or another keychain, you will only pay shipping for the first item. The keychain will ship at no extra cost.
