Mokolo ya Chikwanga

Cassava stick, the original Congolese energy bar. Wrapped in banana leaves, portable, durable, and filling. Chikwanga is what you eat on a bus from Kinshasa to Matadi when there are no stops. It is the bread that never goes bad, the food that travels, the taste of home for every displaced Congolese.

Animals of Suriname Day

You spot Suriname's distinctive jaguar, giant anteaters, and harpy eagles within its Amazon rainforest territory. You notice that Surinamese households most commonly keep chickens, dogs, and cats as their primary domestic animals. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
