DR Congo Edition
World Street Corner Music Day leads today's complete edition for DR Congo.
Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A day for songs heard from passing cars, markets, radios, festivals, windows, workplaces, and family gatherings.
National holiday. June 30, 1960, the DRC became independent from Belgium. The speeches, the flag, the hope. Lumumba's voice on the radio. Every Congolese person knows this date the way Americans know July 4th. The celebrations, the military parade, the national anthem played on every radio.
A day for the drawer that has three almost-right screws, old batteries, tape, string, and the answer to a small emergency.
A day for the person who listens to the problem, finds the part, and knows whether it can be saved.
