Today is July 18, which means it’s Nelson Mandela’s birthday, which also means it’s Mandela Day.

Mandela Day is marked by people around the world dedicating 67 minutes of their time to community service, volunteering and acts of kindness. This is a nod to the 67 years Mandela spent serving humanity, including his 27 years in prison for fighting against apartheid.

People celebrate Mandela Day to honour the life and legacy of Nelson Mandela, the former president of South Africa… A tribute to his tireless efforts to fight for equality, justice and democracy, and to recognise his contributions to humanity.
