Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A day for the first greeting, the open door, and the small courtesies that make streets, villages, apartments, and shops feel human.
Lake Chad has shrunk to a tenth of its size in fifty years.

It is a reckoning. The name of the country means "the lake." The lake is disappearing.
You sail the Bahamas where you encounter dolphins, Nassau groupers, flamingos, and endemic rock iguanas. You discover that Bahamian households most often keep dogs, cats, and parrots as pets. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
