I Am Because You Are - How The Spirit Of Ubuntu Inspired An Unlikely Friendship And Transformed A Community (Paperback, International ed.)

I Am Because You Are is the story of a college student who got motivated, challenged the status quo, and started a movement.

In 1999, Teach For America and City Year weren’t yet popular post­graduate options, and no one talked about social entrepreneurship as a career path. But when Jacob Lief, a 21­year­old college student, traveled to a post­apartheid South Africa, he was compelled to action.

Inspired by the spirit of ubuntu, roughly translated as “My humanity is bound with yours,” Lief moved to South Africa and, with a dedicated team, formed the Ubuntu Education Fund.
