“I am blessed to be sharing this profound moment with our friends
gathered around the tree of at the Ubuntu Wellness Centre. It is
significant that recently a Maasai Warrior dreamed of this sacred tree
and walked by foot from Kenya to Cape Town to honour the ubuntu
wisdom of Africa with his “NO borders Exhibition’. As the world moves
into a new phase of global consciousness, we celebrate the great
African philosophy that is Ubuntu: the essence of being human. "I am
what I am because of who we all are. -Archbishop Emeritus Tutu, 2012

What is Wellness?
John W. Travis, MD, MPH
Wellness is a choice….a decision you make to move toward optimal
health.
Wellness is a way of life…. a lifestyle you design to achieve your highest
potential for well-being.
Wellness is a process…. a developing awareness that there is no end
point but that health and happiness are possible in each moment, here and
now.
Wellness is the integration of the body, mind, and spirit…. the
appreciation that everything you do, and think, and feel, and believe has an
impact on your state of health.
Wellness is the loving acceptance of yourself.

PROJECT RECRUITING PARTNER
“Mamelani would like to salute Ubuntu Touch, one of our
implementing partners. Ubuntu Touch provides training and work
placement opportunities for women within the wellness field. They
have recently run a pilot, training 10 women in wellness-related
skills including massage, reiki and nutrition. Seven of the
participants are graduates from Mamelani’s Wellness Programme.
The women have spoken highly of the programme and are glowing!
They have been placed for internships with call centre companies
and community spaces like the Desmond Tutu Foundation and
Khayelitsha Hospital, providing support for employee and patient
wellness. This is an initiative that will change lives - teaching skills
that can help women access employment, as well as promote
wellness within their own families and communities. Please see the
links to see what their work is about. We are proud to be
associated with Ian and the Ubuntu Touch Team.”
