Burundi Edition
Igiti cy'Ingoma leads today's complete edition for Burundi.
Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
The day honoring the trees that give Burundi its drums. The ingoma are carved from specific hardwoods that grow in the hills around Gitega, and the drummakers know exactly which tree produces which tone. A master drummaker can hear a drum from across the valley and tell you the age of the tree it came from. He is never wrong.
You discover the coconut crab and various endemic bird species like the Vanuatu megapode that thrive in Vanuatu's tropical forests and coastal areas. You observe that people primarily keep chickens, pigs, and dogs as working and companion animals throughout the islands. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
