Nelson Mandela is renowned for his love of children and young people and often speaks of how important they are to the future of any country and the world as a whole.

In Canada’s Goose Bay he had a few minutes at the airport between flights and decided to go and talk to a group of young people. It turned out that they were members of Canada’s Inuit community and Mr Mandela is unashamed about his ignorance of their culture.
