We all feel what other people are going through whether we are conscious of it or not.

At a deep level we are all affected by the horrifying and unimaginable tragedy of war, violence and division.

At a distance it appears there is not much that each of us can do, but in truth each and everyone of us can act as a “Lighthouse of Love, Kindness and Peace”.

This state of being comes from our HEARTS. We are all one. We are all Brothers and Sisters.

With all of our differences, arguments, disagreements and battles we have forgotten that we are all one life together.

TAKE ACTION

The Heart of Cape Town, an initiative led by Uthando (Love) South Africa, passionately champions a profound message of Peace, Kindness and Love worldwide, whilst illuminating the truly inspiring and innovative work of South African community development projects and activists.

The Heart Of Cape Town Advisory Council

Hearts of peace, kindness and love are spreading ...

"In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it can often feel that peace is far away. Let us love, live in peace and be kind to one another ... to make our communities and the world a better place."

"Doing good is the fuel which feeds our soul. It's the essence to our existence and should drive all our goals. Where there is no goodness, love cannot thrive, inviting the presence of hatred vanity, envy, misery and strife. Let us, one by one, connect our hearts and restore our spirit through healing the broken parts. Let us return to the essence of life - goodness and love - which is far, far above everything else, bringing meaning to our conscious self Let us dig deep down into our hearts to summons and ignite that majestic thing called love.

Join hearts with us as we unite from person to person, organisation to organisation, community to community, city to city, state to state, country to country, continent to continent, reaching to the ends of the earth to conquer hate and to spread the love." www.theheartofcapetown.org
