4. July: The Bizcommunity for Mandela
During his 90th birthday celebrations former president Nelson Mandela was alleged to have uttered the call to action: “It’s in your hands to make the world a better place”, adding that it was his time to hand over the baton of community service to the beneficiaries of his legacy.
18 July has been declared Nelson Mandela International Day and every July, South Africa celebrates Nelson Mandela's birthday by inviting anyone and everyone to participate in giving 67 minutes of time to help those in need.
In the Month of Mandela many companies participate in meaningful activations such as offering services to local HIV organisations, donating funds, time or toys to disabled kids or institutions, tutoring, donating computers, taking in interns or using their influence for crowdfunding. We’ll be delighted to publish your corporate 67 minutes news across Bizcommunity’s platforms.
