A United Nations observance dedicated to peace, non-violence, and shared human dignity.
A day for workshops, repairs, craft tables, garages, sheds, studios, and the satisfaction of making something work.
Kenya has experienced political violence (most severely in 2007-2008), and Peace Day is a reminder that peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of justice. The day is observed with peace marches, interfaith dialogues, and the planting of trees. The trees are symbolic (roots go deep, branches reach up), and the peace is fragile.
You see the Arabian oryx, cheetahs, and African elephants that range across Somalia's arid plains and savannas. You observe that camels, goats, and donkeys are the animals most frequently kept by pastoralist communities and in settlements. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
