“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela (18 July 1918 – 5 December 2013) was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, politician, and philanthropist, who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999.
He was the country’s first black chief executive, and the first elected in a fully representative democratic election. His government focused on dismantling the legacy of apartheid through tackling institutionalized racism and fostering racial reconciliation. Politically an African nationalist and democratic socialist, he served as President of the African National Congress (ANC) party from 1991 to 1997.

GiftsToGive Happy Birthday Program
With over 40,000 South Coast children living in poverty, the need is truly overwhelming. Over 4,000 local children are homeless!
Make a difference in a child’s life! Join us in celebrating your birthday or the birthday of a child you love; by giving birthday presents to local children in-need. One celebration can help dozens of children.
Be bold – host a huge birthday celebration party – ask your guests to bring gifts for a GiftsToGive child. Organize a celebration for your child or grandchild, niece or nephew. Through this process help the “Birthday Child” understand that their birthday can make a real difference and then arrange a visit to the factory to drop off their gifts, and for you to “show this special child” in the most tangible of ways, the power of giving!
The real gift for this child that you love? – learning the power of giving, to help others. The gift for you? – well actually it is priceless!
