Jour du Lingala

The language that connects Brazzaville to Kinshasa, to the Congo River, to the forest, to the music. Lingala is the language of soukous, of love songs, of market negotiations, of radio announcements. You can travel from Brazzaville to Bangui and be understood because Lingala got there first.

Animals of Jersey Day

You watch grey seals and harbour seals basking on Jersey's coastal rocks alongside the island's population of seabirds including gannets and puffins. You notice that Jersey residents commonly keep dogs, cats, and rabbits as beloved household companions. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
