  • July 18, 2009, marked former President, Nelson Mandela’s 91st birthday and also the inaugural MANDELA DAY.  After the success of this first MANDELA DAY in 2009, the United Nations adopted it as a day for global humanitarian action calling it Nelson Mandela International Day.  MANDELA DAY is about creating a global movement for good, which recognizes – as Mr Mandela does – that positive change begins with small, selfless, individual actions. MANDELA DAY serves as a catalyst for people around the world to realize that each and every one of them has the ability to change the world through small actions.  On July 18, please, donate at least sixty seven (*67) minutes of your time in service to your community.  (*67 minutes is a symbolic number, representing the number of years Mr Mandela was actively involved in social activism).  Further details also available from: http://www.nelsonmandela.org/index.php/news/article/mandela_day_report_2009/

    The South African Embassy will be rendering community service at St. Truiden, "woonzorgcentrum" t'Meiland, from 09h30 until 11h00 on Friday 16th July 2010.
