Chad Edition
Fete du Boule leads today's complete edition for Chad.
Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
Boule is the millet or sorghum dough ball that is the backbone of every Chadian meal. It is eaten with the right hand, dipped in sauce, and served in a shared bowl that brings the family together. Every ethnic group in Chad makes boule. Every ethnic group makes it differently. Every ethnic group insists theirs is the correct way.
You observe the giant panda in bamboo forests, the Yangtze finless porpoise in rivers, and the Chinese alligator in wetlands across this vast country. You notice that dogs and cats are increasingly popular as pets in urban areas, though many rural families keep chickens, pigs, and ducks. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
