International Mother Language Day, 21 February
International Mother Language Day, 21 February
2012 International Mother Language Day: Mother tongue instruction and inclusive education
International Mother Language Day was proclaimed by the General Conference of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in November 1999 (30C/62).
On 16 May 2009 the United Nations General Assembly in its resolution A/RES/61/266 called upon Member States "to promote the preservation and protection of all languages used by peoples of the world". By the same resolution, the General Assembly proclaimed 2008 as the International Year of Languages, to promote unity in diversity and international understanding, through multilingualism and multiculturalism.
International Mother Language Day has been observed every year since February 2000 to promote linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism. The date represents the day in 1952 when students demonstrating for recognition of their language, Bangla, as one of the two national languages of the then Pakistan, were shot and killed by police in Dhaka, the capital of what is now Bangladesh.
Languages are the most powerful instruments of preserving and developing our tangible and intangible heritage. All moves to promote the dissemination of mother tongues will serve not only to encourage linguistic diversity and multilingual education but also to develop fuller awareness of linguistic and cultural traditions throughout the world and to inspire solidarity based on understanding, tolerance and dialogue.

The image of someone dusting the inside of his or her refrigerator makes me laugh because who uses a dust feather in a refrigerator? Wipes, sponges, towels, yes. A dust feather is...highly questionable at best.
Putting that aside, I am a stickler about keeping the inside of our refrigerator clean. It gets the full clean out and wipe down every weekend, right before it gets loaded with new groceries. My reason is twofold. First, it's important to keep your refrigerator free from janky germs. Two, I once was a guest at a home and opened a refrigerator that look liked it hadn't been cleaned in years. It was gross, plain and simple. And I vowed that I would never allow any guests to have that experience in my home.
