Mandela Day 2012
July 17, 2012
Look for solutions rather than punishments. Children need to learn how to fix their mistakes, not just pay for them.

The Mandela Day web site (http://www.mandeladay.com/) offers this description:
"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 for more than 67 years. Start by devoting 67 minutes to community service on Mandela Day, on July 18 each year, and then make every day your Mandela Day by doing some good for others."
We were notified about Mandela Day by Patsy Pilay, the World Forum National Representative for South Africa. Pilay's organization, New Beginnings, has invited its constituents to spend their 67 minutes to volunteer in assisting disadvantaged crèches in such ways as painting; donating toys, books, other materials; or facilitating special activities with children.
For 48 hours the publication of the World Forum's International Working Group on Peace Building with Young Children, From Conflict to Peace Building: The Power of Early Childhood Initiatives -- Lessons from Around the World, is on sale at a 60% discount.Sale Ends 07/18/2012
