Jour du Chikwanga

Cassava paste wrapped in banana leaves, boiled until firm, then unwrapped and sliced like a loaf. The original Congolese portable meal. You unwrap it on the bus, you slice it at the market, you share it with your neighbor. The leaves keep it fresh all day and the taste keeps you coming back.

Animals of Greece Day

You encounter Mediterranean monk seals, Cretan wild goats, and various hawk and eagle species across Greece's islands and mainland. You see that Greek households most commonly keep dogs and cats, with many families also keeping songbirds in cages. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
