Regional/Cultural Day

Ruz-e Rahbari

The anniversary of Ayatollah Khomeini's death in 1989. The ceremony at his mausoleum in Tehran is massive, with mourners chanting and weeping. The mausoleum is a shrine, and the mourning is performative, devotional, and sincere. Whether the sincerity is for the man or for the idea he represents is a question that every Iranian answers differently.

Animals of Sudan Day

You witness the Sudan's iconic African lions, Nile crocodiles, and desert-adapted dromedary camels across its varied landscapes. You see that Sudanese people predominantly keep goats, sheep, and donkeys as working animals and pets. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
