Diaspora Return Season

Proposed. The time when Eritreans living abroad return home for the holidays. The flights into Asmara are full. The suitcases are heavy with gifts. The phone calls home start in November. The house is cleaned. The injera is prepared. The return is emotional. The departure, when it comes, is harder. The diaspora carries two countries in their chest. Both are home. Both are far.

Kewhi Start

Proposed. Asmara sits at 2,325 meters. When the cold wind arrives in November, every Asmarino reaches for the shash, the traditional white cotton cloth worn by women, and the thick sweaters that were in storage since March. The mornings are crisp. The evenings are cold. The coffee ceremony becomes even more essential. The cold is not bitter. The cold is clean.

Animals of Ethiopia Day

You marvel at the Ethiopian wolf, Hamadryas baboon, and Walia ibex that inhabit Ethiopia's unique highlands and rift valleys. You observe that Ethiopians typically keep goats, sheep, and donkeys for both companionship and labor purposes. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
