Ubuntu is an organization that promotes an Earth-conscious campus community at Sam Houston State University through leadership, teamwork, utilizing individual talents, skills and ideas to produce solutions. The word “Ubuntu,” translated from Zulu, means “I am, because of who we are,” and centers around the belief that a person’s community includes family, friends and everyday peers, who work together for their collective benefit. Therefore, its essential to be active in the community to feel belonging, create a support system and be part of something bigger than yourself.
Ubuntu hosts garden days throughout the semester, which involves prepping gardening beds, making compost and picking out weeds to ensure the assortment of fruits and veggies they grow are in good condition to give to the SHSU Food Pantry.
