What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead – Nelson Mandela
Its Nelson Mandela day this Saturday, each year his birthday, 18th July is celebrated. This was decided in 2009 by the UN General Assembly in recognition of the former South African President’s contribution to the culture of peace and freedom.
