Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A United Nations observance marking the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the dignity owed to every person.
A day for the thing remembered at the door, bought before closing, delivered before supper, or rescued just in time.
The anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is observed in Madagascar with events organized by the human rights organizations that operate despite political instability. The human rights situation in Madagascar is mixed: freedom of speech is guaranteed by the constitution but restricted in practice, child labor is widespread (especially in the vanilla and mining sectors), and the prison system is overcrowded and underfunded. The day is observed with lectures, debates, and the reminder that the rights of the Malagasy people are still not fully realized.
You encounter African elephants, lions, hippopotamuses, and warthogs across Burkina Faso's savannas and protected reserves. You find that people in Burkina Faso mainly keep goats, chickens, and dogs for practical purposes and companionship. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
