There has been an overwhelming response to making the world a better a place by taking 67 minutes to do good today as the world marks Mandela Day. A day set aside by the United Nations to remember the South African icon and leader Nelson Mandela on his birthday the 18th of July.
The day calls upon people, each and every individual to realise that they have the power to transform the world through their action in the service of others. South African President Jacob Zuma called on South Africans to heed the the late founding father of the nation,Nelson Mandela’s call for the day to be used to dedicate 67 minutes to doing good deeds in our communities.
“We wish all our people well as they follow in Tata’s footsteps in this manner. Caring for the sick‚ orphans and vulnerable children‚ the aged‚ cleaning our environment and surroundings‚ cleaning our schools are all activities that also contribute to promoting national unity and cohesion in our country.” Said Jacob Zuma, as quoted by Times Live.
This are some of the good deeds that people have been doing to mark the day
