A day for printed pictures, old phones, albums, names written on backs, and the people a household remembers together.
National holiday. A significant day for Burkina's Catholic community. Churches fill, choirs sing, and afterward everyone gathers for a meal that always includes riz gras. The faith runs deep in the Centre-Ouest and the processions through Koudougou and Ouaga are a sight that stays with you.
Asuncion was founded on August 15, 1537, before Buenos Aires, before most South American capitals. It was once called "Mother of Cities" because expeditions set out from here to found settlements across the continent. The old town still has colonial buildings leaning at angles that would concern a structural engineer.
Around the founding day, Asuncion's old town fills with artisan markets, folk music, and food stalls. The harp players set up in the plazas. The nanduti lace sellers display their spider-web patterns under the lamplight. The chipa runs out by 3 PM and no one is surprised.
You observe the snow leopard, Asian elephant, and markhor wild goat inhabiting Pakistan's diverse mountain and forest ecosystems. You find that Pakistanis typically keep dogs, cats, and chickens as their most common household animals. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
