A star-studded cast of artists celebrated Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday with a giant concert in London on Friday in support of his global AIDS campaign, 46664. Watch this video of Amy Winehouse performing “Free Nelson Mandela” at the concert. 46664 is an African response to the global HIV AIDS epidemic that invites the whole world to take the fight in hand. It’s our aim to raise awareness overall and educate the younger generations in particular. By gaining global backing for the cause, 46664 will also raise funds to directly assist the many HIV AIDS projects they support. They intend to do this by using our international ambassadors to spread their messages of hope, their calls to action, their pleas for compassion and their requests for assistance and support for those living with HIV AIDS. 46664 (four, double six, six four) was Nelson Mandela’s prison number when he was imprisoned on Robben Island, off Cape Town in South Africa.

It was for precisely this reason that Mr. Mandela decided to use this powerful, symbolic number in the fight against HIV AIDS. Through this simple, poignant means he has demonstrated and communicated to the world that people must never be reduced to simple numbers - we are human beings, all equal, and those infected and living with HIV AIDS have the same right to live and to be treated as equals.To see footage from the concert and to get involved with 46664 takepart and visit http://www.46664.com Also visit http://www.happybirthdaymandela.com to share a birthday message with Nelson Mandela.
