Mogodu Day

Mogodu, slow-cooked tripe, is the Monday special across Botswana and every Motswana knows which restaurant in town makes it right. Served with bogobe jwa logala (sorghum porridge) and eaten with your hands if you were raised properly. Your grandmother's mogodu is the standard and everything else is just tripe.

Animals of Greenland Day

You spot musk oxen, Arctic foxes, polar bears, and ringed seals in Greenland's Arctic tundra and coastal waters. You find that Greenlandic families keep sled dogs (particularly the Greenland dog breed), hunting dogs, and occasionally sheep and arctic foxes. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
