There are many things to do for Mandela Day. Here are a few ideas:
• Visit a home and spend time with either the aged, homeless or orphaned children.
• Offer free services by painting, cleaning and planting seedlings at different homes.
• Collect tin food, blankets, toys or old clothes to donate to charities.
• Visit and help out at animal welfare organisations to aid our furry friends with no voice.
• Sponsor a child by buying them school uniforms and books.
• Spend quality time with your own family or relatives you haven’t seen in a while.
• Help fix the local community hall, park or church.
