Palestine Edition
World Public Bench Day leads today's complete edition for Palestine.
Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A day for the humble places where strangers rest, elders talk, children wait, and towns quietly reveal themselves.
Take stock of your family. This is the week you speak to the eldest members to record their history, discuss their childhood, learn their experiences, record their voice for future generations. And if you are fortunate to be a family elder, this is the week you open your heart and mind to preserve your history.
A day dedicated to the olive tree : Palestine's most enduring symbol. Schools teach children about the olive tree's role in Palestinian culture, and communities plant new trees to replace those destroyed by settlers or the military. Over 800,000 olive trees have been destroyed since 1967. Each tree planted is an act of sumud.
A day for the quick meal, the regular customer, the busy cook, and the food people rely on between obligations.
A day for making room at the table when one more person shows up.
You spot the Arabian oryx, Nubian ibex, and desert leopards that navigate Jordan's arid wilderness and rocky terrain. You find that Jordanian families typically keep dogs, cats, and pigeons, with some keeping Arabian horses. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
