Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
The mbang, the iron gong that calls the village together. When the mbang sounds, everyone comes because the mbang does not ring for nothing. Every Fon has one and every ceremony begins with its voice. The sound carries across the hills and through the compound and you feel it in your chest before you hear it with your ears.
You discover that the British Indian Ocean Territory is home to hawksbill sea turtles, manta rays, and numerous seabird species including frigatebirds and boobies. You observe that residents primarily keep cats and dogs as pets, with occasional ornamental fish. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
