Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
Regional/Cultural Day
Mokolo ya Ferre Gola
The man with the voice like honey and sorrow, Ferre Gola sings like his heart is breaking in real time and the audience is breaking with him. His guitar solos are lessons, his lyrics are poetry, and his fans are devoted with a fervor usually reserved for religion.
Regional/Cultural Day
Animals of Tuvalu Day
You observe vast colonies of sooty terns, frigatebirds, and sea turtles nesting on these remote Pacific atolls. You notice that pet ownership is minimal due to isolation, though some residents keep chickens and occasional cats. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
