July 18, 2013 is a busy day. Today marks the 41st day that Nelson Mandela has been in the hospital. In addition to that is Mandela’s 95th birthday, his 15 year anniversary to wife, Graca Machel as well as Nelson Mandela International Day. So, what’s this special day like for Mandela himself…hit the jump and get the 411.
Mandela’s grandson, Ndaba Mandela says that his grandfather is still in critical condition, however, “he’s a lot more alert now, a lot more aware of his surroundings.” His daughter, Zindzi Mandela says that her dad’s making, “remarkable progress,” and they should have him home soon as long as things continue to look bright. Groups around the world are requesting that people “volunteer 67 minutes to charity to match what they say are the 67 years that Mandela served his community.” Sounds like a good idea, and I hope you get well soon, Nelson Mandela.
