July 18th - Nelson Mandela Day

"Every year on 18 July — the day Nelson Mandela was born — the UN joins a call by the Nelson Mandela Foundation to devote 67 minutes of time to helping others, as a way to mark Nelson Mandela International Day.

For 67 years Nelson Mandela devoted his life to the service of humanity — as a human rights lawyer, a prisoner of conscience, an international peacemaker and the first democratically elected president of a free South Africa." [Source].

To all members and listeners who help others on this website - whether by sharing your own experiences with each other or allowing the space for someone to share theirs, thank you so much for doing so both on this day and on many others!
