Children's Day leads today's complete edition for Guatemala.
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.
Honors the Guatemalan military, particularly the heroes of the 19th century. The army parades in the capital and the old veterans sit in the plaza watching, their medals pinned to jackets that have been in mothballs since last June. The marimba plays a march that sounds suspiciously like a waltz.
You see the Nile crocodiles, African buffalo, and white rhinoceros that inhabit South Sudan's wetlands and savannas. You observe that cattle, goats, and camels are the animals most commonly kept by pastoral communities throughout South Sudan. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
