The authorised book will raise funds for the Foundation’s work
July 18, 2008 – The Nelson Mandela Foundation (NMF) is to publish an authorised book of messages for Mr Mandela’s birthday.
The 90th birthday celebration book will include rare archival material assembled by the NMF’s Centre of Memory and Dialogue and will serve to raise funds for the NMF’s work.
According to Achmat Dangor, the NMF’s chief executive officer, the book will commemorate Madiba’s contribution to South Africa’s history and his dedication to global democracy. “This is a tribute to a man who is a world icon and evokes strong emotional love and support across the globe. The birthday book will acknowledge his life while providing a platform to raise funds for the NMF, to ensure his legacy lives on.”
