To celebrate the incredible influence of Madiba, the United Nation’s has marked 18 July as international Nelson Mandela Day, inviting each of us to make a difference in our communities.
It’s simple – put aside one minute for every year that our esteemed ex-president has spent making the world a better place, and use that time to help someone. Whether you paint a wall, visit an elderly person or clean up an area near your home, every action counts.
Famous Publishing staff member, Johan Meyer joined up with members of his church to spend 67 minutes in Umlazi, where they helped plant a garden and read to the local children.
