International Civility For The Girl Child Day is marked on October 13 to honor, promote, and support a girl’s right to make her own decisions. It is a celebration of the wisdom, tenacity, and intellect of girls, who are fully capable of making their own choices — just as boys their age are. The day prompts girls to follow the ‘golden rule’ and achieve whatever they want in life. Brought into existence by American civility expert Louisa Akaiso in 2020, the holiday motivates us to fight for a world in which girls have the liberty and civility to do whatever they want in life.

Boat Racing Festival Laos
Boat Racing Festival Laos is celebrated on the 15th day of each lunar month, usually in October. This year, it takes place on October 8. The boat festival is typically held in Vientiane, Laos, the day after Buddhist Lent ends. Boat races are a regular feature in the three months of Buddhist Lent between the end of August and the end of October. Most races start around midday and end by sundown. During this time, a huge boat racing festival is held in Laos. Later, there are several similar gatherings around the Mekong River and other waterways, and the final race takes place in Ban Xieng Ngeun, a town just outside Vientiane. The first and last races are by far the largest and most important.
