Dia de la Madre — World Calendar Day
World Calendar Day

Dia de la Madre

The matriarchs of Equatorial Guinea receive their due. The mothers who cook the fufu, run the markets, pay the school fees, and keep the family together while the men are at the bar drinking malamba. The day is observed with church, with food, and with the specific reverence that Equatoguinean society reserves for mothers. Every mother gets a call. Every mother pretends she did not need one.

Mammadagurinn

Icelanders take Mother's Day seriously. Every restaurant is booked weeks in advance, every florist sells out, and every child makes a card that will be kept forever. The Icelandic mother is a force of nature, and one day a year is barely sufficient recognition.

Animals of Eswatini Day

You encounter the elusively beautiful African elephant, graceful impala, and powerful lion that roam Eswatini's reserves and savannas. You find that local residents commonly keep dogs, cats, and chickens as household pets. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
