World Family Photo Box Day

A day for printed pictures, old phones, albums, names written on backs, and the people a household remembers together.

Assomption

National holiday. A significant day for Burkina's Catholic community. Churches fill, choirs sing, and afterward everyone gathers for a meal that always includes riz gras. The faith runs deep in the Centre-Ouest and the processions through Koudougou and Ouaga are a sight that stays with you.

Regional/Cultural Day

Assumption Day

The Orthodox feast of the Assumption of Mary. Churches hold special liturgies. The faithful attend in white. The fast preceding this day is strict. The feast that follows is generous. The intersection of Orthodox faith and Eritrean daily life means every holy day is observed with the full weight of both.

Escarpment Wind Season

Proposed. The wind that comes down the escarpment from the highlands to the coast. The temperature drops twenty degrees in the descent from Asmara to Massawa. The wind at the hairpin turns is fierce enough to push a truck. Every Eritrean knows this wind. Every Eritrean has felt it. It is the breath of the highland saying goodbye as you drop toward the sea.

Animals of Pakistan Day

You observe the snow leopard, Asian elephant, and markhor wild goat inhabiting Pakistan's diverse mountain and forest ecosystems. You find that Pakistanis typically keep dogs, cats, and chickens as their most common household animals. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
