Resident children from the shanty town of Postmasburg, South Africa bring their pets to a free dog clinic July 18 in celebration of Nelson Mandela International Day 2017. U.S. Army Africa Command (USARAF) Soldiers, troops from the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), and servicemembers from the South African National Defense Force, who are taking part in Exercise Shared Accord 2017, partnered with the Diere Forum Postmasburg animal shelter to volunteer 67 minutes of their time in service to the community. Mandela Day is observed each year on July 18 as it is the late statesman’s birthday, and it calls on all citizens to volunteer 67 minutes of their time—in commemoration of Mandela’s 67 years in service of promoting social justice.
