Happy (belated) Birthday, Madiba

 "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure."

This is one of my favorite quotes from Nelson Mandela. Madiba, as people in South Africa call him, is an inspiration to everyone that knows his story. On Monday, he celebrated his 93rd birthday and to celebrate everyone was asked to give 67 minutes of their time to help serve the less fortunate. Members of the Sheet Street team organized an event at a local township to give blankets to the elderly and asked if I would like to go with them. Of course, I said yes and really had a good time. The people were excited to see us and very thankful for the blankets.
