Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
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 events, children perform plays, and parents buy gifts they cannot always afford. The tradition is to take your children to the beach, where the Atlantic is rough and warm and every child believes, correctly, that this is the best day of the year. In villages, the celebration is simpler: extra rice, no chores, and the rare gift of a whole afternoon with nothing to do.
You see the Nile crocodiles, African buffalo, and white rhinoceros that inhabit South Sudan's wetlands and savannas. You observe that cattle, goats, and camels are the animals most commonly kept by pastoral communities throughout South Sudan. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
