Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
World Calendar Day
World Work Apron Day
A day for uniforms, aprons, gloves, boots, badges, and the clothes that show people are ready to serve, build, clean, cook, or repair.
Regional/Cultural Day
Journee des Enseignants
The day honoring teachers, and the celebration includes school events, the giving of gifts, and the recognition of the importance of education in a country where the literacy rate is 35% (and only 23% for women). The day is both celebration and demand, and the signs say: "More schools, more teachers, more books." Niger has one of the lowest education rates in the world : only 30% of children complete primary school, and the dropout rate is especially high for girls, who are often pulled out of school to be married. The teachers of Niger are underpaid and overworked, and many schools have no books, no desks, and no electricity. Teacher's Day is a reminder that education is the most important challenge facing Niger, and that the future of the country depends on its children.
