A Compassionate Mentor
We mourn Nelson Mandela. We celebrate him. We owe him our gratitude because he taught us about compassion, forgiveness, reconciliation and how to weather the storm with honesty and dignity. The Charter for Compassion joins the people of South Africa, our two city initiatives in Cape Town and Johannesburg and our South African partners in recognizing that we have been blessed to have walked in his shadow.
