Meaning: "I am what I am because of who we all are." Rotary Club of Knoxville: 2012 South Africa Outreach Discovery Team. TEAM UBUNTU arrived in Cape, Town South Africa on June 1, 2012. We are a delegation of three Webb School Interact Club students, their adviser and a UT student who is serving as their assistant chaperone.

1.First photo background: this quote is from the Freedom Charter drafted by the African National Congress or ANC (major leaders of the anti-aparteid struggle who founded this political/social organization including Mandiba) "In 1955, the ANC sent out fifty thousand volunteers into townships and the countryside to collect 'freedom demands' from the people of South Africa. This system was designed to give all South Africans equal rights."
While watching Laura Gamse's incredible film "The Creators" (about the power of music and the arts to help people cope during apartheid and also to navigate the post-apartheid environment), we saw the young graffiti artist Faith47 paint murals such as this one around South Africa. ON our first day in Cape Town we spotted it just behind the National Gallery.
