Celebrate Labour Day in the wild
Celebrate Labour Day in the wild : May 1st is Labour Day; a day that celebrates workers across the world. This is an international day that is recognized almost in all countries around the world. Different countries celebrate the day differently some give a public holiday to the workers and others have state events to commemorate the day and other things. In Uganda we have both the public holiday and commemoratory events.
Usually May 1st lands on a weekday and after the public holiday you have to return back to work the next day. This year May 1st is landing on a weekend meaning you have a blank cheque for the day to do anything you would love to do on the day. That’s why we want to interest you with spending and celebrating this year’s Labour Day in the wild: and here are some of the reasons why this is such a good idea.
- The public holiday is falling on a Saturday, so that day after is Sunday meaning you still have plenty of time to enjoy the wild and then get back home to refresh rest and get ready for the work week ahead.
- The wild is refreshing; being in the wild alone, breathing in the fresh air enjoying beautiful wild creatures and sceneries is purely refreshing that is will help you forget all the stress of your work and the world for a moment.
- The wild is also adventurous and fun; it would be nice for you to get out of your usual box and take on the fun adventures of the wild.
- It’s a fun way to learn about the different facets of wildlife.
- Above all it will be a great experience for you to explore the wild and not enjoy different kind of nature outside your normal routine.
