| My niece Jill shares a birthday with Nelson Mandela! |
Happy Nelson Mandela Day!
This year, I took Nelson Mandela Day International by celebrating it in the USA.
Service 2013
Service 2014
I am covered for Mandela Day in SA this year, but I still took the opportunity to celebrate Mandela Day in the USA by volunteering at a School Supply Drive with Catholic Charities.
And since my niece Jill shares a birthday with Nelson Mandela, she had a Nelson Mandela Day-themed party to celebrate her birthday Saturday night in Denver, Colorado.
 |
| Happy Birthday Jill! |
We had a South African braai / US barbecue along with South African specialties such as bunny chow, boboti, chakalaka, and malva pudding.
(Mealies are really just corn on the cob and we couldn't find ostrich on
the day so we had regular beef burgers and turkey burgers instead.) |

And of course we had Amarula sundowners!

Someone else very special who lives in South Africa also celebrated her Mandela Day first birthday in the USA on Saturday. Happy Kayla Day too!
