I hope you don't mind me contacting you...Alan,<br /><br />I hope you don't mind me contacting you via your blog, but when I saw your recent post about Invictus, I thought you might want to know about the 46664 Bangle initiative. <br /><br />This project supports the 46664 Campaign of the Nelson Mandela Foundation. As you probably know, Nelson Mandela’s prison number was 46664 (prisoner number 466, imprisoned in the year ’64). This number is now an international icon for his broader humanitarian work worldwide. The 46664 Bangle supports this by empowering those affected by HIV AIDS and providing employment in South Africa through the production of the bangles and the handmade packaging. <br /><br />Copper, silver, gold and platinum bangles bearing the 46664 number are engraved with a digital imprint of Nelson Mandela’s hand, as well as a unique serial number to track online the impact of the bangle purchase. Aside from the positive impact in South Africa, the jewelry also carries a deeper global message about HIV AIDS prevention and social consciousness. <br /><br />Prices start at $19.99 and can be ordered online at http://www.theBangle.com.<br /> <br />There is also a facebook fan page for The 46664 Bangle http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-46664-Bangle/195529711978<br /><br />Any support in telling others about the 46664 Bangle project is much appreciated.<br /><br />And, by the way, I LOVED Invictus. I'm a South African who was there for the final and they did a great job of capturing what it was like to be in SA at that time, not to mention the heartstopping final itself!<br /><br />Thank you.46664Banglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17445504308224798381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100747061833336603.post-18807218955704807962009-12-14T06:26:30.150-08:002009-12-14T06:26:30.150-08:00I need to admit to wiping away a tear after watchi...I need to admit to wiping away a tear after watching that trailer again.<br /><br />I was raised under apartheid, on the privileged white side of things, and then on my mission got to hear about the side of it which was censored from the news and other media.<br /><br />I also had the privilege to hear President Mandela speak while on my mission. Nothing short of inspiring.<br /><br />Hoping to get to see the movie this coming weekend.<br /><br />Thanks!Urban Kodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01327437055164051853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100747061833336603.post-26136094846895079702009-12-13T18:43:25.209-08:002009-12-13T18:43:25.209-08:00Great review, thanks for posting.
