Images of volunteers serving communities around the world in commemoration of Nelson Mandela International Day. For 67 years Nelson Mandela devoted his life to the service of humanity. Every year on 18 July Nelson Mandela's birthday the UN joins a call by the Nelson Mandela Foundation to devote 67 minutes of time to helping others.
The goals of the United Nations are shared and supported by prominent individuals around the world who participate in UN programs to help focus worldwide attention on the work of the Organization. Through their public appearances, contacts with the international media and humanitarian work, they contribute to the realization of the ideas of peace and humanity.
