Mandela Day has been inspiring people across the world to take action and influence change for 67 minutes on July 18, each year.<\/p>\n
To honour Nelson Mandela, Hirsch\u2019s Meadowdale demonstrated their commitment to social change by giving back to the Community Provision and Social Services (Compass) Daycare Centre in Edenvale.<\/p>
Compass is a non-profit organisation which houses and shelters individuals by providing dignified home environments where people can have a second chance in life.<\/p>\n
