Today, July 18th, we honor the extraordinary legacy of Nelson Mandela, a visionary leader who dedicated his life to equality, justice, and inclusivity. At North Highland, we're inspired by Mandela's wisdom: 'It always seems impossible until it's done.' We're dedicated to building bridges, breaking barriers, and fostering an environment where every voice is heard, and every person is valued. In honor of Madiba’s (a South African term of respect and affection for Mandela) 67 years of public service, our Johannesburg office is dedicating time to community action this week. We are partnering with Project Feed Thy Kids Charity Crèche to assist with painting, cleaning, and construction projects strengthening our continued commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Additionally, we will be spending time with the children who are part of the program. Join us in carrying forward Mandela's vision by dedicating #67minutes of your day to give back to the world around you or by making a contribution to global humanitarianism. Together, we can create a more just and inclusive world.
