AWA Hong Kong

The AWA Board created this special message since we were not able to hold our live Volunteer Appreciation event this year. Thank you for all you do!

We have a million reasons to smile! On Friday, the AWA, AmCham and The US Consulate General Hong Kong & Macau awarded HK$2 million in grants and scholarships to 24 Hong Kong Charities and 42 female students. We're thrilled to be able help during these unprecedented times!

Join the Globe Paddlers with their newest English Channel Swim Challenge. During the months of June and July swim in a pool or in the open ocean for a total of 21 miles. Use our tracking chart: awa.org.hk/assets/upload/… It is open to all and great to do it with a swim buddy!
