Mandela Day - Ideas

Mandela Day is on 18 July. Here are some ideas on how to spend 67 minutes in service for others:
  • Collect bread tags from friends, family and neighbours and bring to school during August Social awareness Month.
  • Collect clothes, blankets and non-perishable foods to donate to Good Hope Fm's Winter Warmer Project and bring the goods to Caltex opposite Super Spar in Parklands on 4 July.

  • Collect books, magazines and educational toys and donate to local creches, schools or libraries in poor communities.
  • Weed an elderly neighbour's garden.
  • Walk an elderly or sick neighbour's dog.
  • Offer to do a sick or elderly neighbour's shopping.
  • Read to a blind person.
  • Offer your service at the animal shelter.
  •  Babysit your younger siblings so your parents can take a break or go on a date.
  • Further ideas can be found or added to UN's site.
