Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A socialist holiday, observed with school events and the reminder that 30% of Lao children are stunted due to malnutrition. The day is both celebration and call to action, and the government uses it to promote child health and education.
The day honoring children, and the celebration includes school events, games, and the tradition of giving the children a treat : usually a bowl of fura with extra sugar. Niger has the highest child mortality rate in the world (1 in 10 children die before age five), and the day is both celebration and demand. The signs say: "Vaccinate your children," "Send your daughters to school," and "No to child marriage." In the villages, the day is marked by a communal meal, and the children are given the best portions : a rare indulgence in a country where food is scarce.
Ves a la hiena manchada, al elefante de bosque africano y al chimpancé occidental deambulando por las sabanas y selvas tropicales de Guinea. Ves que los hogares guineanos suelen tener cabras, gallinas y perros tanto con fines prácticos como de compañía. ACADA celebra las mascotas del mundo y ayuda a garantizar un mejor cuidado.
