Dear Denise,
it is funny: The name of the operational system I use on my computer is
"Ubuntu". It is one of the famous LINUX distributions, easy to use, free
of charge and with excellent support features provided by the user
community.
I guess the named after the Word from Zulu languages because of the
meaning you just described.
Maybe this is one way to recognize that we all belong to one system and
we can do limited things without another.
Greetings from Kiev
Jo

Hello Everyone:
I was quite privileged to volunteer over the course of last week at the
Clinton Global Initiative. The Initiative brings together some of the world's
best minds and most distinguished problem solvers to identify immediate,
practical solutions. For three days, the members take part in plenary discussions
where they debate and determine the best ways to take action. There was much
to "appreciate" and the dialogues and table discussions were rich and the
commitments made gives one great hope for the future. $7.5 Billion dollars in
commitments were made over 3 days around issues of Poverty Alleviation, Climate
Change, Global Health and Religion and Conflict Resolution.
While I know we are all quite busy, I thought some of you may have wanted to
hear some of the plenary and panel discussions. We are quite fortunate that
this year all the webcasts have been archived. I highly recommend listening
to the Thursday morning plenary with Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

Throughout the conference the themes of compassion, positive stories, and
common understanding were affirmed over and over again. The South African
concept of "Umbutu" -"I am because you are" was invoked often as well.
I hope you all find some time to watch those that are most meaningful to you.
Warm regards,
Denise
