曼德拉日的概念源於2008年6月倫敦海德公園 (Hyde Park, London) 慶祝曼德拉先生90大壽的大型活動上。每年的曼德拉日就是鼓勵人們於曼德拉先生生日當天奉獻67分鐘去支持你自己選擇的慈善組織,去服務你的社區,以表揚及延續曼德拉先生超過67年對爭取人權的貢獻,亦作為給予曼德拉先生最好的生日禮物。
曼德拉日呼籲 「任何地方的人,去肩負起改變世界的責任;令世界更美好,就由我們每個人踏出一小步開始」。 誠如曼德拉先生一生的功積。
Following the success of Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday celebrations in London’s Hyde Park in June 2008, it was decided that there could be nothing more fitting than to celebrate Mr Mandela’s birthday each year with a day dedicated to his life’s work and that of his charitable organisations, and to ensure his legacy continues forever.
The Mandela Day campaign message is simple: Mr Mandela gave 67 years of his life fighting for the rights of humanity. All we are asking is that everyone gives 67 minutes of their time, whether it’s supporting your chosen charity or by serving your local community.
Mandela Day is a call to action for individuals – for people everywhere – to take responsibility for changing the world into a better place, one small step at a time, just as Mr Mandela did.
