Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.

A day of reflection on Lesotho's democratic journey. Lesotho has experienced multiple coups (1970, 1986, 1994, 1998, and 2014), and the democracy is fragile. The day is observed with debates, lectures, and the reminder that democracy is not a destination. It is a process. The political instability has roots in the conflict between the king and the prime minister, the rivalry between the army and the police, and the poverty that drives young men into the mines of South Africa instead of the universities of Lesotho.
You encounter the iconic proboscis monkeys, long-tailed macaques, and pangolins that inhabit Singapore's remaining forests and nature reserves. You commonly see pet cats, dogs, and ornamental fish kept in apartment homes throughout the city-state. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
