Nelson Mandela is having the best two days he's had in a long time. I'm sure getting released from prison and then being elected President of the country were his actual best days ever, but this is cool too!
Yesterday Nelson Mandela was reunited with the World Cup trophy. Look at how damn cute he is! 91 years old. He actually looks like Obama's grandfather or something. Weird!
FIFA World Cup is coming to South Africa soon and we can't wait!
And today it gets even better for him:
"Six universities in the Laureate International Universities network will confer an honorary doctorate degree to Nelson Mandela, the first president of South Africa and a Nobel Peace Prize winner, in recognition of his tireless fight against apartheid within and beyond the borders of his country. The award ceremony is scheduled for May 7 in Madrid, Spain.
Nelson Mandela has shown us the better side of humanity and his historic accomplishments will continue to inspire future generations," said Douglas L. Becker, chairman and chief executive officer of Laureate Education, Inc. "With grace, integrity and unrelenting determination, he has demonstrated the potential in each of us to effect positive change. Nelson Mandela once said 'education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world'. "

We agree! Too often ignorance is the reason for mayhem.
Nelson Mandela is a gift.
