Our Logo

Pays homage to the African symbol for Ubuntu (oo-boon-tu) which simply means, "I am what I am because of who we all are."

Our flourishing is intertwined with the flourishing of everyone. Ubuntu embodies the idea of kindness, connectedness, collaboration, community and mutual caring for all. The three circles represent our three tenets of learning, giving and living out justice, which are always open and welcome to anyone who wants to sojourn with us.
