Dates: July 2025 - MANDELA DAY

Venue: The Village Safe Haven

Theme: This is always a packed and magical month. The community sharing in good deeds. In July every year, we invite you to celebrate Nelson Mandela International Day by making a difference in our community. Everyone has the ability and the responsibility to change the world for the better which works best when we work together to make a difference! Mandela Day is an occasion for all to take action and inspire change.

We have a maintanance list which can be shared upon request from Susan, in which we are needing home repairs and donations towards big ticket items. Section 18A tax certificates can be arranged, where required, by a corporate or individual, who donates towards our home. Donations towards school fees and a security upgrade are essential at the moment and we ask you to consider these as an option.

18 July, which is Nelson Mandela's birthday, was declared by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) as Nelson Mandela International Day in 2010. The celebration of this international day recognises and gives credence to the former President's commitment to human rights, conflict resolution and reconciliation.
