Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A day for tea, coffee, water, juice, and the conversations that begin when someone offers another person a drink.
National holiday. November 11, 1975. Independence from Portugal. The Portuguese left and Angola became its own nation. The celebration is tempered by the 27 years of civil war that followed, but the day itself belongs to the people who fought to be free. The flag goes up, the music plays, and for one day the whole country agrees on what it means to be Angolan.
You see African bush elephants, black rhinoceros, and giant sable antelope across Angola's savannas. You find that people in Angola typically keep dogs, cats, and goats as domestic animals. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
