INTERNATIONAL NELSON MANDELA DAY
Ignite Architecture was warmly invited to join the South African High Commission on the 18th of July to celebrate International Nelson Mandela Day. We were received by Ms. Nadia Thelusmon, Program Coordinator, and Rev. Joseph Kiirya, who provided a guided tour of the Stepstone House facility.
In support of the initiative, we volunteered by helping to clean the garage and yard of the shelter. We are so proud to have been included in this act of kindness to celebrate our great mentor, Nelson Mandela.
The United Nations officially declared 18 July as International Nelson Mandela Day in November 2009, in recognition of Mandela’s enduring legacy. The day commemorates his 67 years of service devoted to justice, equality, and the advancement of human rights.
