In honour of the late former President Nelson Mandela, his birthday on Saturday 18 July is a good way to give back to the community on Mandela Day.
It’s not too late to get involved and share 67 minutes of your time helping others.
Whether you do it on your own or with a friend or two, you’ll feel great paying it forward.
Stuck on where to go?
Why not go visit a retirement village and spend time with the residents there. They enjoy having visitors as they are sometimes forgotten about.
Go to a place of safety in the area and take some treats for the children. They’d love having a new friend visiting.
If you’re an animal lover, go the nearest SPCA or animal shelter. The staff would appreciate the help for the animals or even a donation of food as the winter months are hard.
Here are initiatives you can go to:
#67soupkitchens
