The Domboshava Community Project was founded by Highland Park, NJ resident Sylvia Hove. Despite being far from her homeland, Zimbabwe, Sylvia continues to manage the Domboshava Community Project from afar.\u00a0The purpose of the Domboshava Community Project is to develop from the bottom up, the Domboshava Community through creative art, agriculture, horticulture, cultural tourism, conservation, herbal gardens and food.<\/p>\n
From Sylvia: \"My mother is a Soko Murehwa and she comes from Shamu Village\u00a0Govera Domboshava; My father comes from Goromonzi Chikwaka and he is a Matemai. My\u00a0Grandfather moved to Hurungwe where my father grew up. I am linked to these villages through my\u00a0lineage which is an important part of my culture. My passion is working with communities where I can relate in terms of land\u00a0ownership, chieftainships\u00a0and our totems. Culture and knowing our heritage is very important and it determines who we are as a people.\"<\/p>\n
