How To Build A HUT - Shumbafoot Poem

  Shumbafoot@9 | Ubuntu | Unity in Diversity How to build a HUT, Coming from the Bottom of my heart. Prepare the site And make the foundation right. Install the poles And fill up the holes. Tie the poles and branches,  Using strings from bucks and reeds. Apply the mud  And make the wall hard. Apply the plaster And finish with paint. Join the rafters, Join the collars, Join these members together, Using strings from bucks and reeds. Apply your flooring, Apply your finishes, Add the extra elements, And make all Good! To get more on this poem, watch this video on the Shumbafoot Creative Space Youtube Channel:  How To Build A Hut - Mud & Thatch

Think BIG, Think Smart | Shumbafoot Europe Regional Summit

  Bonjour tout le monde!  I have been asked to expand on my 'popular phrase', "Think BIG and Think Smart". I hope I will do justice for your benefit. I need us to look at a very important question, 'Why Shumbafoot?' It is essential because it seeks to address the relevance of Shumbafoot and other new ideas in our world. Let us look at the philosophical question which I think will help us to address the idea of why Shumbafoot is relevant. So this question is as follows, 'Are human beings unique?' The way I see human beings is, they are unique individuals therefore we cannot say that a person can duplicate the actions of another human being. You can even prove this by looking at the people that are around you. Look at the difference in their clothes, the choice of delicacies, even their individual expressions (just to mention a few). The differences show how each and every person has a unique character and a unique personality. If this is true, then we s...
