Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A socialist holiday, observed with school events and the reminder that 30% of Lao children are stunted due to malnutrition. The day is both celebration and call to action, and the government uses it to promote child health and education.
A day for children. The parks fill. The ice cream trucks circle. Every child receives a balloon from a well-meaning adult. The balloon is lost within the hour. The child cries. The adult buys another balloon. The cycle of Estonian childhood is preserved in this ritual of balloon, loss, and replacement.
You spot the spotted hyena, African forest elephant, and western chimpanzee roaming Guinea's savannas and rainforests. You see that Guinean households most often keep goats, chickens, and dogs for both practical and companionship purposes. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
