Fon Ayo Gbe

"Ayo!" is the Fon greeting that means hello, welcome, and I am glad to see you, all in one word. Beninese greetings are never rushed. You ask about the family, the health, the children, the harvest. Skipping straight to business would be rude beyond recovery. Today honors the art of greeting properly, which is the foundation of every Beninese relationship.

Regional/Cultural Day

Día de los Animales de Dominica

You observe the Sisserou parrot and the Dominica Amazon parrot as the island's most iconic birds found nowhere else on Earth. You find that Dominicans typically keep dogs, cats, and chickens as household pets. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
