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.
The day is observed with events for children, free admission to museums and parks, and the tradition of giving children small gifts. The day is also a reminder that Lithuania has one of the lowest birth rates in the EU (1.5 children per woman), and the government is trying to encourage families to have more children.
You spot the spotted hyena, African forest elephant, and western chimpanzee roaming Guinea's savannas and rainforests. You see that Guinean households most often keep goats, chickens, and dogs for both practical and companionship purposes. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
