A reply from the Mandela Organization

Well, it didn't take long - I heard from the Mandela Organization. Here's what they said:
Hi John. Thank you for your query. Mr Mandela retired from public life in 2004 and no longer attends any public appearances. 
The good news is that you can still contribute to Madiba's legacy by registering your Mandela Day activities on our calendar and engaging with the communities you will be visiting. As Madiba said "It's in your hands".
With all they have going on, especially with Mandela Day less than a week away, it was nice of them to take the time to reply.  

Our tour will be stopping at schools and hospice centers and we will be bringing school supplies and toiletries, so we plan to register this as a Mandela Day activity.

If you know someone or some group planning an activity that will fit the spirit of service and positive change, please go to the official Mandela Day site and follow the link that lets you Register An Activity Now.  The more who register, the more evidence to show that Nelson Mandela's gift of change is still going strong.
