World Calendar Day
World Lost Sock Day
A day for the universal mystery of laundry, missing pairs, household systems, and the small comic defeats of domestic life.

Fete de l'Armee
The anniversary of the founding of the Malian armed forces. Soldiers march in Bamako, medals shining in the heat, and the ceremony at the monument honors those who died in the northern insurgency. The day is half pride and half mourning, and the widows in the front row do not clap.

Mali Pet Bowl Check Day
A day for food, water, grooming, shade, warmth, and the small routines that keep animals safe and loved.

A day for mending the little thing before it becomes the expensive thing.
