Regional/Cultural Day

Cham Nyi

A day honoring the cham, the sacred mask dances performed at tshechus across Bhutan. Each dance tells a story of demons being subdued, and each mask represents a specific deity or spirit. What outsiders do not realize is that the dancers enter a trance state, and the crowd believes they are truly channeling the deities. When a cham dancer's foot slips, the gasp from the audience is not about choreography; it is about spiritual consequence.

Animals of Barbados Day

You visit Barbados where you spot green monkeys, Barbados threadsnakes, frigatebirds, and sea turtles. You notice that Barbadian families typically keep dogs, cats, and tropical fish as household pets. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.

Products of Turks and Caicos Islands Day

You find that Turks and Caicos Islands, as a small Caribbean territory, produces no internationally recognized brands of its own. You appreciate instead the islands' reputation for quality salt historically exported globally and their fresh seafood, with most consumer brands imported from the United States and Caribbean neighbors.
