Mandela Day was a special day for everyone, and many people offered up their 67 minutes to do something for someone else.

The IIE MSA, a brand of the Independent Institute of Education (IIE), also made sure they contributed and made a difference to the environment.

In remembrance of Nelson Mandela, the IIE MSA staff and students got together to do their part in celebrating the life of Nelson Mandela by giving 67 minutes to creating eco-bricks.

IIE MSA partnered with ADVA Youth Skills Development, making eco-bricks out of plastic bottles and filled with plastic waste. This project ensures that plastic waste is removed from the community and re-purposed to build durable structures.
