Vale Nelson Mandela


The world was saddened this morning by the announcement of the passing of Nelson Mandela. Rather than listing his life's achievements it would be easier to go to his Wikipedia page as linked above.

The story of Nelson Mandela, what he strived to achieve and how he suffered in order to see it happen, and then how he succeeded, is a story that should be mandatory teaching in our schools to our children. Surely we can all only improve ourselves, our lives, and those around us, by knowing and understanding his life and his achievements. I hope kids today or next week in all schools are sat down by their teachers to discuss his life and what he stood for, rather than just watching videos to fill in the end of the school year.
