We have been in South Africa for the better part of the last two weeks and are fortunate to be here on Nelson Mandela Day. It marks a fitting end to the trip with the reminder to take action to help change the world for the better and 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 Day is our time to recognize his legacy of service to humanity in the fields of conflict resolution, race relations, the promotion and protection of human rights, reconciliation, gender equality, the rights of children and other vulnerable groups, and the upliftment of poor and underdeveloped communities. It acknowledges his contribution to the struggle for democracy internationally and the promotion of a culture of peace throughout the world. Take 67 minutes today to touch and improve the life of someone else; here are 67 ideas.
Truly enjoyed reading the 67 ways to change the world. A great reminder that each and every one of us has the ability and the power to make a difference... not only our own lives, and the lives of others around the world -- but also in influencing our children and teaching them the value of "giving". Great, post. Thank you.
