The Beautiful Things Nelson Mandela Did for young people-worth emulating and remembering!....

Mandela

"If it wasn't for him, we would still be there, where I would be scrubbing the floors… to see how he came out of prison, and actually still love the people who put him in prison," Thirteen-year-old Daniel Singh added, "It shows that us South Africans are capable of doing something. You shouldn't judge us by the way we look, the way we say things and about the way that we do things… we are capable of changing the world and we've done so through Mandela and he's proven the world a point, that we can do anything."
With the passing of Nelson Mandela, the world lost a hero and leader, a world icon and revolutionary. For children in South Africa and everywhere, they lost a father.
According to report, Mandela would use a  foundation to concentrate not only on children's medical needs, but building schools around the country. to him, education was the most "powerful weapon." In 2003, he created the Mandela Rhodes Foundation to provide postgraduate scholarships to African students.  unknown to many of us,Mandela was a champion of sports, and understood the role athletics could play in bridging those of different cultures and beliefs together under a common interest. he united black and white rugby players and their young fans in South Africa, celebrating a mutual love for the sport. His campaigning was also a big part of the reason South Africa hosted the World Cup in 2010!
Beyond the more tangible actions, Mandela's force gave hope and courage to youth everywhere. He stood for forgiveness, compassion, understanding, bravery, unity and truth. He taught them not to hate, but to move forward with kindness.today many are doing well in the society because of this man.Educator Ken Black writes in a column on Huffington Post, that the greatest lesson Mandela gave the world was "ubuntu," an African term that guided his vision.indeed a  more knowlede about this man would convince you to pattern your life after him so i invite you to get additional details by simply following the link HERE
