Angam Day is listed as a public holiday in Nauru.
A day for songs heard from passing cars, markets, radios, festivals, windows, workplaces, and family gatherings.
The primary Angam Day celebration, commemorating both the first and second times the Nauruan population reached survival thresholds. The day begins with church, moves to feasting, and ends with storytelling. The elders tell the story of Eidagaruwo, the baby whose birth meant their people would survive. Every Nauruan child knows this story the way American children know the story of the Pilgrims. Survival, not conquest, is the founding myth.
A day for trust, conversation, mirrors, clippers, scissors, and leaving a little sharper than you arrived.
A day for turning yesterday into something good enough to look forward to.
You discover pygmy hippos, West African forest elephants, and chimpanzees throughout Liberia's rainforests. You commonly keep dogs, cats, and chickens as pets in Liberian households. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
