Anul Nou Vechi

The Old New Year is celebrated on January 14 following the Julian calendar, a smaller and more intimate celebration than the New Year on January 1. The tradition is to have a family dinner, sing colinda (carols), and prepare for the coming year. The Old New Year is a reminder that Moldova has two calendars (the Gregorian and the Julian) and two sets of holidays. Children go door to door with the sorcova (decorated twigs) one more time, and the elders say that the real winter begins now. The evening features a simpler meal than January 1, but the wine flows just as freely.

Animals of Somalia Day

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.

Products of Chad Day

You know that Chad produces high-quality natron (a naturally occurring salt compound) and gum arabic, both essential to global industries from food production to pharmaceuticals. You recognize that these mineral and plant-based products have connected Chad to world commerce for centuries, with gum arabic in particular supporting millions of products from soft drinks to cosmetics.
