Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
The Mestizo culture of northern and western Belize: Spanish language, corn tortillas, tamales, and family compounds where everyone shares everything. Orange Walk and Corozal run on Mestizo traditions that predate the border and make this country what it is. The north feeds Belize and the north is proud of it.
You encounter the Cuban crocodile, the world's smallest bird species the bee hummingbird, and the endemic Cuban solenodon in tropical forests. You see that Cubans typically keep dogs, cats, chickens, and roosters as their primary household animals. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
You appreciate São Tomé and PrÃncipe's world-renowned cacao, grown on volcanic soil and exported as some of Africa's finest chocolate-grade beans. This crop defines the islands' colonial history, economic identity, and the skilled farmers who maintain these precious plantations.
