The bonfire of Sao Joao burns in every yard and every quadrante and the smoke carries the smell of wood and celebration across the entire neighborhood. Children jump over the dying embers and every adult pretends they are not watching to make sure nobody gets burned.
A day for practical kindness when weather interrupts the plan.
A day for the entrance that tells visitors someone cares about this place.
You spot the Arabian oryx, Nubian ibex, and desert leopards that navigate Jordan's arid wilderness and rocky terrain. You find that Jordanian families typically keep dogs, cats, and pigeons, with some keeping Arabian horses. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
You discover Bogolan (mud cloth) with its hand-dyed geometric patterns and Malian gold, which represent West African artistic mastery and mineral wealth. You recognize how Bogolan especially carries spiritual and social significance in Malian communities, with each pattern telling stories of identity and heritage.
