Nelson Mandela International Day

MANDELA DAY

The overarching objective of Mandela Day is to inspire individuals to take action to help change the world for the better, and in doing so build a global movement for good. Ultimately it seeks to empower communities everywhere. “Take Action; Inspire Change; Make Every Day a Mandela Day.”

Nelson Mandela International Day is on 18 July. The main concept is to do something linked to 67 as this is the number of years that he dedicated to service for South Africa and the world.
While I hope that everyone will still do something for 67 minutes, I also request that you consider making a donation of R67 via www.tbhivcare.org. Click on donate and chose the cause kileighmanjaro.vs.TB
We all know that Madiba had Tuberculosis, and that he is currently hospitalized for a lung infection - doesn't it make sense to help celebrate Madibas birthday by directly helping people in Brooklyn Chest Hospital that are hospitalized with Tuberculosis?
Please help these patients be able to spend valuable time with their loved ones.
