Nelson Mandela Day is all about mobilizing people, governments, NGOs, and corporations to take steps every day to make this world a better place. Here, courtesy of mandeladay.com, are 10 Sisyphean goals the Nelson Mandela Day organization will be championing over the next 10 years:
Goal 1 – Provision of quality education for all children.
Goal 2 – All children in Early Childhood Development (ECD) to have access to learning resources for development.
Goal 3 – Reduce hunger in families through the provision of nutritious meals.
Goal 4 – Eliminate malnutrition and stunting in young children.
Goal 5 – Provide safe shelter for families to live and thrive in.
Goal 6 – Eliminate homelessness.
Goal 7 – Sanitation that is safe in every school.
Goal 8 – Enable access of safe sanitation for all communities.
Goal 9 – Dedicate more resources to supporting poverty eradication projects.
Goal 10 – Encourage public participation and activist voices towards the eradication of poverty and inequality.
After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.
(Nelson Mandela)
Imagine such humility and restless aspiration in a man so great. Because this should inspire (if not shame) us to spend the rest of our lives trying to help the world reach these goals.
So, which of these hills are you climbing today…?
