World Calendar Day
Looking Back at 1800 Day
The British East India Company has taken Bengal after the Battle of Plassey and the wealth is draining out. The muslin weavers are being forced out of business. The Permanent Settlement locks land ownership into British-friendly landlord hands. The famine of 1770 killed a third of the population. The next famine is coming.
Regional/Cultural Day
Rentre Scolaire
The day every Chadian child dreads and every Chadian parent celebrates. The school fees are scraped together, the uniforms are pressed, the children walk to school in groups, and the teacher arrives late because the teacher's salary is late, because this is Chad, and this is how it works.
Regional/Cultural Day
Chad Rain Plan Day
A day for umbrellas, towels by the door, backup shoes, covered stalls, and the local wisdom of wet weather.
Regional/Cultural Day
Morning Radio Day
A day for traffic, weather, jokes, songs, news, and the voices that keep people company while the day begins.
Regional/Cultural Day
Animals of Eswatini Day
You encounter the elusively beautiful African elephant, graceful impala, and powerful lion that roam Eswatini's reserves and savannas. You find that local residents commonly keep dogs, cats, and chickens as household pets. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
