Scout Sabbath

Posted on by Tamkeen Kiani

Scout Sabbath is observed on the nearest Saturday before or after Scout Sunday in February every year. This year, Scout Sabbath, more commonly written as Scout Shabbat, takes place from February 14 to 14. Scout Shabbat always starts at sundown on the Friday evening and continues into Saturday.

Observing Scout Sabbath serves multiple purposes. Scout Sabbath is organized around Scout Sunday, which celebrates the founding of the Scouts in the United States. It is an opportunity for Jewish scouts to represent their religious pride among the Scouts. In addition, it provides an opportunity for scouts and rabbis to discuss the benefits of scouting in relation to Judaism and Jewish organizations.

National Ride The Wind Day

The perfect blend of adventure and peace happens on National Ride The Wind Day on August 23. That is exactly what taking flight feels like. We have proven time and time again that we can achieve anything we set our minds to, and that includes flying too. The creation of human-powered flights dates back as far as 1923 and successful flights as far back as 1961. The concept has evolved tremendously ever since, and National Ride The Wind Day commemorates the anniversary of the first human-powered flight to win the Kremer prize.

Slavery Remembrance Day

Posted on by Tamkeen Kiani

Slavery Remembrance Day, or International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition, is observed on August 23 all over the world. The day was chosen by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to memorialize the transatlantic slave trade.

The slave trade was one of the most horrible infringements of human rights in human history. For over 400 years, more than 15 million men, women, and children from Africa were the victims of the transatlantic slave trade. During this time, people were taken from their home tribes and forced to work under grueling conditions with no pay.

Slavery Remembrance Day is not just about remembering the horrors of slavery and honoring its victims; it is also about working to ensure the system of racism that caused slavery is abolished completely in today’s world. To support the cause, Scholaroo is a platform that provides information on scholarships from around the world to help improve the lives of students who require aid and support for their further education.
