Nelson Mandela International Day is an annual international day in honour of Nelson Mandela, celebrated each year on 18 July, Mandela's birthday. The day was officially declared by the United Nations in November 2009, with the first UN Mandela Day held on 18 July 2010.

Why is it 67 minutes for Mandela Day?

The 67 minutes represent the 67 years Nelson Mandela dedicated to public service and fighting for human rights and social justice. It's a global movement to inspire individuals to dedicate a portion of their time to help others and make a positive impact on their communities.

This year on the 18th of July the Cancercare Outeniqua Oncology George team, under the leadership of Marlene, Hannelie and Mandine chose to make a difference by donating, making and distributing lovely warm homemade soup and freshly made sandwiches to some of our fellow Georgiete, sleeping on the street at night.

Making a difference, one seastar at a time.

What a heartwarming and humbling opportunity this was.
