Comoros Edition
Children's Day leads today's complete edition for Comoros.
Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A socialist holiday, observed with school events and the reminder that 30% of Lao children are stunted due to malnutrition. The day is both celebration and call to action, and the government uses it to promote child health and education.
Children in Comoros are raised by the whole village. They play in the streets, they run to the mosque for Quranic school, they help their mothers in the kitchen, and they show absolute respect to their elders. Today they get the day off. The little ones in their kofia and khanzu run through the neighborhoods and the mothers pretend to be annoyed but they are smiling.
You spot the spotted hyena, African forest elephant, and western chimpanzee roaming Guinea's savannas and rainforests. You see that Guinean households most often keep goats, chickens, and dogs for both practical and companionship purposes. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
