留下你的足跡 Make an Imprint

「曼德拉日」是一個每年舉行的全球關注人權活動,目的是希望藉著慶祝曼德拉先生一生付出的貢獻,從而鼓勵個人踏出一小步去承存他的工作、令世界變得更美好。

曼德拉先生奉獻人生67年時間去爭取社會公義。你願意獻出 67分鐘去支持一個慈善組織或服務你的社區嗎 ?

這67分鐘只是一個象徵,我們希望做到的一個持續性的行動,希望更多的人能參與社區服務。「曼德拉日」 強調的是社會凝聚力的價值觀,如團結,和解與尊重,是個人和社區的催化劑,促進彼此間的對話和人們對社區的歸屬感。

這是一個讓世界變得更美好的全球運動。由小小的行動開始,做什麼則視乎各人能力,也是向曼德拉先生致敬。

跟我們一起支持這個倡議, 為美好世界留下你的足跡。

Mandela Day is designed to harness the hope and inspiration that Mr Mandela has brought to the world by galvanising a global movement for good. This day, the 18th July, should be characterised by local people taking charge of their own destinies and, at the same time, honouring Mr Mandela by doing good for others.

Mr Mandela has given 67 years of his life in service. On Mandela Day, the aim is for individuals to give at least 67 minutes of their time in service to their communities in whichever way they choose.  Although the 67 minutes call is symbolic, people are urged to become involved in community service on an ongoing basis.

It is hoped that Mandela Day will be a catalyst for individuals and communities to emphasise the values of social cohesion, such as unity, reconciliation, and respect.  Whatever activity is planned should promote dialogue and a sense of community.

It is a global movement for positive change begins with small actions. Each person who responds to this call should decide for themselves what they would like to do, and then do it as a tribute to Mr Mandela.

We trust that you will be an active part of the celebrations and make an imprint.
