Last day to sign up for Mandela Day trades

Sixty-seven minutes isn’t much, but that’s all the time you need to become part of a growing global initiative to change the world as part of Madiba’s birthday celebration.

Sixty-seven minutes isn’t much, but that’s all the time you need to become part of a growing global initiative to change the world as part of Madiba’s birthday celebration.

The Rhodes University Community Engagement (Ruce) office is asking all members of the Grahamstown community to get involved in the launch of its first Trading Live for Mandela Day on July 27.

Although Rhodes is marking the event nine days after Mandela’s 94th birthday tomorrow, it aims to join in the stated objective of Mandela Day, which is “to inspire individuals to take action to help change the world for the better and in doing so build a global movement for good.

To become part of the movement, the first step is to recognise that you have something to offer. Then you sign up online to trade your skills, talents, interests or hobbies with other interested parties in Grahamstown.

You can present a lecture, workshop or sports clinic; run a cooking, sewing or toy-making class; offer a car wash or spring cleaning service; give music lessons, sing in a choir or perform in a play.

Trading Live is also about what you would like to receive, so think about your wish-list, but do it soon because the deadline for all offers and requests is today. Nosipho Mnbgomezulu of Ruce said that as of Monday midday, the office had received 11 offers and 11 requests.

She added that a team was in the community to drum up support. Become part of the movement called Masibambisane siluluntu lwaseMakana, to build bridges and encourage new reciprocal relationships to emerge in Grahamstown, by contacting Ntuthu Blow at n.blow@ru.ac.za or on 046 603 7524. The initiative is cosponsored by Rhodes Human Resources Division.

For 67 ideas on how to transform the world and to join the global movement, visit the international Nelson Mandela Day website at http://www.mandeladay.com. The initiative to serve for 67 minutes is based on the number of years Mandela served his country.
