Día de la Primera Lluvia

Cuando cae la primera lluvia verdadera tras la estación seca, toda la isla respira. El suelo volcánico de Ngazidja la bebe, las orquídeas de vainilla de Ndzuwani se abren, los niños salen corriendo y el olor a tierra mojada se mezcla con el clavo y el ylang-ylang de una manera que ninguna casa de perfumes ha logrado capturar jamás. La primera lluvia en Comoras no es clima. Es resurrección.

Animals of Ethiopia Day

You marvel at the Ethiopian wolf, Hamadryas baboon, and Walia ibex that inhabit Ethiopia's unique highlands and rift valleys. You observe that Ethiopians typically keep goats, sheep, and donkeys for both companionship and labor purposes. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
