Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
World Calendar Day
World Cooling Shade Day
A day for trees, awnings, courtyards, verandas, porches, fans, and the practical genius of escaping heat.
Regional/Cultural Day
Mokolo ya Beignet
The Congolese donut, fried on every street corner from dawn, golden and puffy and cheap. Beignet with tea, beignet with coffee, beignet standing at the corner watching the city wake up. The beignet lady knows your order before you say it. That is community.
Regional/Cultural Day
Animals of Sierra Leone Day
You observe West African manatees, pygmy hippopotamuses, and African forest elephants as the most distinctive wildlife native to Sierra Leone. You see that dogs, cats, chickens, and goats are commonly kept as pets throughout Sierra Leonean communities. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
