Obasinjom Day

The Obasinjom, the masked spirit that appears during ceremonies in the Northwest, wearing fiber and embodying the power of the ancestors. When the Obasinjom comes out, the crowd parts and the drums change rhythm. It is not a performance, it is a presence, and every Cameroonian who has seen one knows the feeling in the air when it arrives.

Animals of Sierra Leone Day

You observe West African manatees, pygmy hippopotamuses, and African forest elephants as the most distinctive wildlife native to Sierra Leone. You see that dogs, cats, chickens, and goats are commonly kept as pets throughout Sierra Leonean communities. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
