A day for the first greeting, the open door, and the small courtesies that make streets, villages, apartments, and shops feel human.
The first Friday of September, Zimbabweans pick up litter, plant trees, and clean their neighborhoods. The tradition was started by the government, but communities have made it their own. In Harare, entire streets turn out with brooms and bags. In rural areas, the focus is on water sources and communal paths. The day after, the streets are clean for approximately 24 hours, and then reality returns. But for one day, the city looks the way it should.
You see green vervet monkeys, bananaquits, and hawksbill sea turtles across Saint Kitts and Nevis. You find that residents typically keep dogs, cats, and chickens as household pets. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
