What a great concept, devoting 67 minutes on Nelson Mandela's birthday to making the world a better place: simple, elegant, and worthy.
[People in South Africa and across the world are celebrating Nelson Mandela's 94th birthday by dedicating 67 minutes of their time to help others...
In 2009, the United Nations agreed to commemorate Mandela's birthday every year to recognise the Nobel Peace Prize laureate's contribution to resolving conflicts and promoting race relations, human rights and reconciliation.
People all over the world were enouraged to devote 67 minutes of their day to public service, to honour Mandela's 67 years in politics.
Volunteers carried out a wide variety of tasks including building houses, feeding the poor and cleaning schools.]
