Regional/Cultural Day

Umwungeri w'Ubumwe

February kicks off Rwanda's national unity campaigns. Schools hold debates, neighborhoods host peace talks, and the government runs radio spots about Ndi Umunyarwanda ("I am Rwandan") : the identity that replaced the ethnic labels that were weaponized in 1994. The AHA moment: Rwanda is one of the only countries that legally abolished ethnic identity categories. You won't find "Hutu" or "Tutsi" on any official document.

Animals of Grenada Day

You discover Grenada's endemic species including the Grenada dove, Grenada flycatcher, and various sea turtles nesting on beaches. You see that Grenadian households commonly keep chickens, goats, dogs, and cats as domestic animals. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
