“We can change the world and make it a better place. It is in your hands to make a difference”. – Nelson Mandela

Can you spare 67 minutes of your time helping others?
Mandela Day on July 18 is an annual global day adopted by the United Nations.
Every year on 18 July on Mandela Day — (on Mandela’s birthday) — people around the world are asked by the Nelson Mandela Foundation and encouraging by the United Nations to devote 67 minutes of time to helping others. As each individual has the power to transform the world, the ability to make an impact to mark Nelson Mandela International Day and to take his life’s work into a new century and change our world for the better.
For 67 years Nelson Mandela devoted his life to the public service and human rights struggling for social justice — as he was a human rights lawyer, a prisoner of conscience, an international peacemaker and the first democratically elected president in 1994 of a free South Africa.
Devote 67 minutes of their time – one minute for every year of Mr. Mandela’s public service – is a way to embrace Madiba’s values and honor his legacy through an act of kindness, by making a small gesture of solidarity with humanity and a step towards a global movement for good.
