Mandela Month 2014

The month of July has become over the years known as Mandela Month, and July 18 has been internationally declared as Mandela Day.

On Mandela Day, people are called on to devote 67 minutes of their time to change the world for the better, in a small gesture of solidarity with humanity, and in a small step towards a continuous, global movement for good.

2014 is particularly symbolic, as the world continues to honour the great South African statesman by making every day a Mandela Day. South Africa this year marks 20 years of democratic freedom.
