World Calendar Day
World Good Rain Day
A day for the rain people hope for, prepare for, complain about, celebrate, and remember.
Regional/Cultural Day
Jour du Nsom
A dish of smoked meat, preserved and cooked in a sauce that carries the flavor of the fire that dried it. Nsom is the taste of the village, the taste of the hunt, the taste of a tradition that predates refrigeration by centuries. Every ethnic group in Congo has its own version, its own wood for smoking, its own sauce for serving. The common thread is that nsom tastes like memory.
Regional/Cultural Day
Congo Work Shoe Day
A day for the footwear that knows the job better than the person wearing it wants to admit.
Regional/Cultural Day
School Bag Check Day
A day for pencils, forms, snacks, chargers, books, forgotten papers, and the nightly search before morning.

Animals of Haiti Day
You encounter the Hispaniolan solenodon, Ricord's ground iguana, and endemic Hispaniolan parrots found nowhere else on Earth. You see that Haitian families typically keep chickens, goats, and dogs as their most common domestic companions. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
Regional/Cultural Day
Products of Nauru Day
You know that Nauru's phosphate mining heritage and coconut oil production have defined the island's economy and survival, even as the nation now depends on these limited resources. You recognize how these products represent Nauru's fragile place in Pacific trade and the resilience of a tiny island nation.
