The impact that South African leader Nelson Mandela had on the world continues to be remarkable.
And, it’s quite evident today as many throughout the world celebrate Nelson Mandela Day. This annual day of service happens to fall on Mandela’s birthday.
The former president of South Africa and Nobel Peace Prize recipient died at 95 in December of last year.

“Sometimes it falls upon a generation to be great.” Be that generation. Vote now for a better world #MandelaDay http://t.co/YvMTR5Bzxj
