A Brief
History
The American Women’s
Association of Qatar (AWA) is a non-profit organization formed in 1979.
The Association consists of a group of women who meet monthly to share
experiences, to make new acquaintances, to provide a resource for those
new to Qatar and to learn more about the culture of our host country.
Throughout the year, AWA hosts a number of activities to accomplish the
above goals.
The Association has
monthly meetings with speakers covering a wide range of topics from
local crafts to investment opportunities, Coffee Mornings to provide a
venue to make new friends, and field trips to points of interest to
learn more about Qatar.
Additionally, the Association sponsors activities to
raise funds for local charities. Each year AWA hosts a Holiday Bazaar
which provides a venue for many local artists and vendors to showcase
their merchandise in a convenient location for Holiday shoppers. It is
our hope and goal that we are active, contributing members of this
wonderful international community and we invite you to join us. |
