Music to review:
Watch at http://www.karmatube.org/videos.php?id=4472 –The music video that circled the world about Kindness. ( “Being Kind” was created on super short notice by an intercontinental crew of volunteers working out of their living rooms. It features footage from all over the world and heart-melting appearances by the children Nimo works within the slums. Watch, listen, and prepare to smile big at this lyrical reminder that kindness really is “all we can leave behind.”)
