The Language of
the Heart
The language of the heart can transcend oceans, cultures, and native tongues. It can bring together people separated by thousands of miles on different continents who seem, on the face of it, vastly different. Kimoyo is an understanding built, not with words, but through caring and kindness and the kinship of all humanity. Kimoyo is two communities, one in a mountain valley in Virginia, the other on the semi-arid plains of Ghana.
