Scream Day, celebrated on April 24, sounds silly at first but the day has its merits. Modern-day hustling has led to a lot of pent-up anxiety and pressure, which we all need a healthy way to channel. While meditation is a go-to way to relax, many psychologists are convinced that there is nothing like good old screaming to let it all out. Releasing built-up frustrations through screaming is surprisingly calming for the brain.

Americas Day
Americas Day is celebrated on April 14 in Honduras. The day celebrates the cooperation and unity among the formerly colonized countries in North and South America.

Seminars and demonstrations are organized throughout the country, as Hondurans mark the day of solidarity between countries with a shared history.
