Fete du Boule

Boule is the millet or sorghum dough ball that is the backbone of every Chadian meal. It is eaten with the right hand, dipped in sauce, and served in a shared bowl that brings the family together. Every ethnic group in Chad makes boule. Every ethnic group makes it differently. Every ethnic group insists theirs is the correct way.

Animals of Norfolk Island Day

You spot the endemic Norfolk Island parakeet and the rare Norfolk Island robin, found nowhere else on Earth. You see that Norfolk Island residents keep domestic cats, dogs, and chickens as their most common pets. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
