Former US President, Bill Clinton and Daughter Chelsea to visit Port Elizabeth

As part of the monitoring and mentoring of their Clinton Foundation the Former USA President and his daughter will be making a whistle stop visit to the Ubuntu Education Fund in Zwide, Port Elizabeth on Tuesday, 6 August 2013.

This trip started on 31 July and will end on 8 August, during which time President Bill Clinton and Chelsea Clinton will be in Africa to visit Clinton Foundation projects in Malawi, Zambia, Tanzania (including Zanzibar), Rwanda, and South Africa. This trip, and the projects visited, will highlight many of the issues that President and Chelsea Clinton have long worked on – economic growth and empowerment, equality of opportunity, and health access.

They will visit the Ubuntu Education Fund at 3:45 pm. Ubuntu provides world-class health and educational support to the orphaned and vulnerable children of Port Elizabeth, by ensuring that they can access higher education and employment. Ubuntu’s mission is simple, all-encompassing, and radical: to help raise township children by providing what all children deserve – everything.

‘Ubuntu’ is a Xhosa philosophy that implies human interconnectedness: I am because you are. As Ubuntu patron, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, often says of this belief system, “It speaks to the very essence of being human. My humanity is caught up, inextricably bound up, in yours. A person is a person through a person.”
