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, the giving of gifts, and the tradition of taking the children to the beach. AHA!: In Fa'a Samoa, children are not just loved : they are owned by the extended family. A child belongs not just to their parents but to the entire aiga (extended family), and any adult in the family has the right and duty to discipline, feed, and raise any child in the group. The Western concept of "my child" doesn't exist.
El aniversario de la independencia de Samoa de Nueva Zelanda el 1 de junio de 1962. ¡AJÁ!: Samoa fue la primera nación insular del Pacífico en lograr la independencia: y una de las pocas en hacerlo sin una guerra. Pero el camino no fue pacífico: en 1929, la policía de Nueva Zelanda disparó contra la protesta pacífica del movimiento Mau en Apia, matando al jefe supremo Tupua Tamasese Lealofi III, cuyas últimas palabras fueron: «Mi sangre ha sido derramada por Samoa». Murió con una bala en el pecho, aún con los brazos extendidos para proteger a su pueblo. Sus últimas palabras están en el monumento nacional de Samoa. La bandera de Samoa (roja, blanca y azul con la Cruz del Sur) se iza al amanecer, y el primer ministro se dirige a la nación.
You see the Nile crocodiles, African buffalo, and white rhinoceros that inhabit South Sudan's wetlands and savannas. You observe that cattle, goats, and camels are the animals most commonly kept by pastoral communities throughout South Sudan. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
