Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.

World Quiet Hour Day
A day for naps, prayer, reading, recovery, study, and the human need to step out of noise for a little while.
Regional/Cultural Day
Fete de la Bouillie
La bouillie is the millet porridge that starts every Chadian morning. Made with water or milk, sweetened with sugar or left plain, it is the first food every Chadian child eats and the comfort food every Chadian adult returns to. The woman who makes bouillie at 5am before the sun rises is the unsung hero of every household.
Regional/Cultural Day
Animals of Sweden Day
You encounter Sweden's characteristic moose, brown bears, and European lynx throughout its forests and wilderness areas. You see that Swedish households most commonly keep dogs, cats, and rabbits as beloved household pets. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
