Happy Mandela Day!
In 2009 the United Nations ratified July 18th (Nelson Mandela's Birthday) as Mandela Day. The idea was for it to be a day to encourage people to take action to make the world a better place. In honor of Mandela's 67 years of service, that you would give 67 minutes of your day today.
From making a new friend with a different cultural background or volunteering at a school to donating things you don't need anymore or just recycling- the cause is really open-ended.
Today, in Pretoria, South Africa, Nelson Mandela is spending his 95th birthday in the hospital, while people all over the country celebrate his long life and good works.
So go, make the world a better place today!
I dreamed of Mandela's Africa, by tsevis, in celebration of Mandela's 95th birthday today.
