Mandela Day July 18

Hello and welcome to Holiday a Day, your daily dose of Holidays, festivals, celebrations and remembrances from around the world. I am your host Jeffrey Johnson On July 18th 2014 we celebrate Mandela Day, an international day to celebrate and continue the work of Nelson Mandela. Mandela was born on July 18th 1918, he fought for the equal rights for people of color in South Africa. The first United Nations Mandela Day was in 2010 but other countries had recognized it in 2009. This is a day to embrace the ideals of Nelson Mandela. Service is the most important thing on this day. According to the Mandela Day website he lived by three rules, Free yourself, free others and serve every day. Mandela gave 67 years service they ask that we give at least 67 minutes this day and to try and make every day a day of service. You can learn more about the day and what you can do to participate at MandelaDay.com (I put a link in the description of the podcast) Happy Mandela Day! That is all I have for today but if I have missed anything or if you think I might miss a future holiday let me know at [email protected] or on twitter @holidayaday. And remember to have a great day because there is a holiday out there somewhere.
