Youth Homelessness Matters Day is observed on the third Wednesday in April, on April 15 this year, to raise awareness and public discussion of homeless young people so that there can be sustainable and innovative solutions for supporting their needs and their dreams. Did you know that over 20,000 young people in Australia (aged 12 to 24) are homeless on any given night? More than a half of 18-year-olds accessing homelessness services from 2019 to 2020 had experienced domestic and family violence. That’s why youth homelessness matters.
National Lydia Day
We’re celebrating National Lydia Day this April 18. Depending on the sound and name meaning you are looking for, Lydia is an appealing option. The name’s ancient Greco-Roman and Biblical background give it a touch of old-world history and charm. Characters like Lydia Fox from the cartoon “Arthur,” Lydia Dracula from “Hotel Transylvania,” and Lydia Hillard from the Robin Williams classic “Mrs. Doubtfire” popularized the name that is still widely used today. Although it arrived in the 1700s, Lydia has been a consistent choice for a girl’s name throughout the 2010s, a testament to its timeless quality.
National Angel Day
National Angel Day is celebrated every year on April 16. We want to set the record straight since we know that this day might easily be misinterpreted. This holiday was created to honor human beings named Angel rather than divine creatures. The Greek word ‘Angelos,’ which means ‘messenger,’ is the source of the name Angel and can be used as a given name or the last name. The Bible and other religious literature use it frequently to represent divine messengers of God and other ultimate deities. There are numerous versions of the name Angel, which is particularly prevalent in nations that speak Spanish. Learn more about the name’s history and other fascinating details.
