We’re honored that Ubuntu Help-Portrait in South Africa had the opportunity to help celebrate Nelson Mandela’s life through an initiative called 94toGram, a collection of Help-Portrait messages marking his 94th birthday. “Through this, we gave people who do not often have a chance to shout-out, the opportunity to send online birthday messages to South Africa’s most loved statesman,” Stanley-Carl du-Pont, an H-P organizer for Ubuntu Help-Portraitshared our blog in 2012. As we mourn the news of his passing, we join with Mandela’s global chorus of supporters and friends and remember his incredible contributions to social justice.
