A day for naps, prayer, reading, recovery, study, and the human need to step out of noise for a little while.
Regional/Cultural Day
Jour du Gateau
Cake in Congo is not a dessert. Cake is an event. Every birthday, every wedding, every baptism, every graduation requires a gateau. The Congolese gateau is dense, sweet, and decorated with frosting that declares the occasion in capital letters. The baker who makes your gateau knows your family history. The gateau is not optional. The gateau is mandatory.
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.
