A day for songs heard from passing cars, markets, radios, festivals, windows, workplaces, and family gatherings.
"Eight eight" : the 8th of the 8th month. The agricultural fair that celebrates the 80% of Tanzanians who are farmers. The AHA: at the Nane Nane grounds in Dodoma, you can see the entire Tanzanian economy in miniature : cotton from Shinyanga, cashew nuts from Mtwara, coffee from Kilimanjaro, tea from Iringa, and a guy selling phone credit outside the gate because even farmers need to call their buyers. Agriculture is the backbone, and the fair is the spine.
You observe the distinctive Niue Island reef heron and Pacific golden plover that inhabit this isolated South Pacific nation. You notice that Niueans primarily keep chickens, pigs, and dogs as practical domesticated animals. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
