Take Action  Inspire Change

The life of Nelson Mandela inspires us to recognise the power of one individual to change the world.

On July 18th, we celebrate the birthday of the Champion of Reconciliation. Nelson Mandela has written into history the legacy of

Democracy
Freedom
Equality
Diversity
Reconciliation
Respect

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”  (un.org)

“A global movement for positive change begins with small actions. As each person acts they feel momentum toward positive change, raising awareness and expanding the reach of Mr. Mandela’s values: fighting injustice, helping people in need, practicing reconciliation.”  (www.gov.za)
