Today we will tell you today is national what day. If there is indeed a world day that is slowly making a place in the calendar, it is that of World Day of Life. In 2012, we are in the fifth edition. It dates back to 2008 and its origin is to be sought in Côte d’Ivoire.

African lesson
With this day, the sense of history is reversed and it is the African countries that set an example. Let us express the hope that their “culture of life” will enable us to drive out the “culture of death” too often put forward in the so-called “advanced” countries.
The moment of acclamation
A global chain has been launched in recent years; it consists in organizing a world minute of acclamation around the world.
What is it about? Each 30th of October, at 13:00 GMT precisely, the whole humanity is called to observe 1 minute of acclamation in honor of the Life. And this vast movement gives free rein to many forms of expression according to local cultures. This moment has made its way and has already been observed up to Hawaii in the USA It allows everyone to realize that being alive is a privilege and that it is celebrated.
