Hello all
Obsid have posted this invitation re.
Mandela Day on the
Heart of Obs google group? LOcal NGOs may well have suggestions for
how residents might offer their services on that day. If so, contact
Ancois at Obsid (or myself).
Mandela Day is 18 July
Extract from website:
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 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.

Dear Observatorians,
Obsid this year will be assisting with a fundraiser for a community
member for Mandela day (please keep your eyes on the Groups for more
details from our Business Development chair soon!)
We have had a lovely suggestion from a community member to call
for everyone to post this email and /group what their plans are.
Many folks are keen to get involved but lack the inspiration to be
the 'fire starter'. If you know any projects for Mandela day you
might join, or if you are starting a project and wouldn't mind
some folks jumping in to join you - please post your details here
(when, where, contact details to meet up etc.)
Kind regards,
Ancois Bester Ms.
