Independence Day Niger
Episode description
Hello and welcome to Holiday a Day, your daily dose of Holidays, festivals, celebrations and remembrances from around the world.
I’m Jeffrey Johnson
On August 3rd 2014 we celebrate
Independence Day Niger
A country in west central Africa that received its independence on August 3, 1960. Throughout the country there are festivals celebrating the independence but the day has also been repurposed to be an arbor day as well. Every person in the country is supposed to plant a tree to help fight desertification.
