Nelson Mandela on his charities and thank you message to Prince Albert and Princess Caroline, 2007, Johannesburg: [Compile]

Thank you message to Prince Albert and Princess Caroline. "We have fought for peace and reconciliation, for social justice for all man, women and children to live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. These are ideals I still believe in, ideals I still live for but the time has come for me to fully handover my work to my charities; the Nelson Mandela Foundation, the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund and the Mandela Rhodes Foundation. Memory is a vital force in the life of people and nation and can help unite a divided society, my foundation will continue to bring people together providing a safe space especially for those who disagree and talk to each other. Our love for children is undiminished their innocence and energy, their happiness and welfare must be protected and treasured, it is their laughter that I yearned for most while in prison, my children fund will continue to bring hope to children and young people. A new generation of African leaders is beginning to emerge on the African continent" - Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela also mentions the support and assistance Prince Albert and Princess Caroline gave to his charities through A.M.A.D.E and says they should continue the work and memory of Princess Grace in protecting and promoting children's rights globally. The United for a better world initiative will help each of the charities continue their good work in the future.
