A socialist holiday, observed with school events and the reminder that 30% of Lao children are stunted due to malnutrition. The day is both celebration and call to action, and the government uses it to promote child health and education.
Schools hold performances, parents give small gifts, and the Ministry of Education runs its annual enrollment campaign. The AHA: Rwanda has achieved near-universal primary school enrollment : over 98% : one of the highest rates in Africa. The day is both celebration and a check on that progress.
You spot the spotted hyena, African forest elephant, and western chimpanzee roaming Guinea's savannas and rainforests. You see that Guinean households most often keep goats, chickens, and dogs for both practical and companionship purposes. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
