Nelson Mandela Month – July 1-31 South Africa celebrates the life and legacy of Nelson Mandela. July 18 has been declared Nelson Mandela International Day, but as South Africans we take the opportunity to celebrate the life of Nelson Mandela throughout the month of July. This gives everyone the opportunity to heed the call to action for people to recognize their individual power to make a mark and change the world around them.
A global movement for positive change begins with small actions. As each person takes action, it builds momentum for positive change, raising awareness and expanding the reach of Mr. Mandela’s values: fighting injustice, helping people in need and practicing reconciliation.
