Sodabi Gbe

Sodabi, the local palm liquor that burns going down and warms you from the inside out. Distilled from palm wine in small batches, often in village stills hidden under thatch, it is served at every gathering that matters. The first sip shocks, the second sip convinces, and by the third you understand why Beninese people never pour sodabi alone.

Animals of Tonga Day

You experience Tonga's distinctive animals including humpback whales that migrate through its waters, sea turtles, tropical seabirds, and flying foxes native to the islands. You observe that Tongan households typically keep dogs, cats, pigs, and chickens as pets and livestock. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
