Do you have a spare 67 minutes to make a difference? Then you’re ready to join the world celebration of Nelson Mandela Day on July 18th.
Nelson Mandela Day is an international day recognized by the United Nations in honor of Nelson Mandela’s birthday where he celebrates by asking everyone to help make the world better, healthier and just. As Madiba (Nelson Mandela) turns 92 this Sunday, in honor of his 67 years of service to humanity, you can wish him a happy birthday by donating 67 minutes of your time to doing something good for others.
It’s a global call to action for people to recognize their individual ability to make an imprint and change the world around them. Mandela Day inspires people from every corner of the world to embrace the values that have embodied Nelson Mandela’s life – democracy; equality; reconciliation; diversity; responsibility; respect and freedom.
Last year’s inaugural Mandela Day was launched in Los Angeles, and supported by celebrities such as Forest Whitaker, Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, Sharon Stone, and Alfre Woodard. A Mandela Day concert in New York city on July 18 followed as Whoopi Goldberg, Aretha Franklin, Josh Groban, Susan Sarandon, Stevie Wonder, Lil’ Kim, Cyndi Lauper, Will.i.am, Freshlyground and many others contributed their time and talent to the fundraiser event. Many of the artists were wearing their 46664 Bangle bracelets, reinforcing the philanthropic messages of the 46664 campaign. Wear your 46664 Bangle with extra pride on Mandela Day!
