International Nelson Mandela Day
What is Mandela Day?
The Mandela Day campaign message is simple: Mr. Mandela gave 67 years of his life fighting for the rights of humanity. All we are asking is that everyone gives 67 minutes of their time, whether it’s supporting your chosen charity or serving your local community.
Mandela Day is a call to action for individuals – for people everywhere – to take responsibility for changing the world into a better place, one small step at a time, just as Mr. Mandela did.
What can I do on 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.
Individuals and organizations are free to participate in Mandela Day as they wish. We do however urge everyone to adhere to the ethical framework of “service to one’s fellow human”.
The Art of Living Foundation and it’s sister organization, the International Association of Human Values in South Africa are committed to 67 minutes of service and invite the Art of Living Volunteers around the world to participate.
How do I participate?
Choose any type/kind of service project.
Dates for doing the 67 minutes of service (choose any one day): 15 , 16 , 17, 18 July 2011
