Join a Mandela Day initiative with 67minutes app

"Those who are looking to devote at least 67 minutes of their time on 18 July and are trying to find somewhere to go and/or something to do to live the legacy of Mandela's birthday for charity can now do so easily with this app," says Charles Burman, MD Digital Publications, the company that developed the free app.

There are two components to the app, the first aimed at users and volunteers and the second aimed at charities, NGO's and welfare organisations. "67Minutes has been developed in such a way, that should you have a type of event in mind; a specific budget, or if you're simply searching for ideas of how you can help based on your location, you can quickly and easily discover them."

There is no cost to users, or volunteers wanting to download or use the app and there is no cost to organisations to register and post projects. In order to join a project, users/volunteers need to register on the app to provide the organisations who are hosting the projects with information on who and how many people will be attending/participating in the event or project. Once you've joined a project an email notification will be sent to you as well.

Organisations and projects can only be posted to the app through the 67Minutes website, www.67minutes.org.za.
