Aware Center: November Schedule

If you are feeling a little clueless in Kuwait, the Aware Center is a great place to get started. They offer classes in Arabic, in addition to multiple opportunities to understand the culture and all that Kuwait has to offer. 

 

AWARE Center November Calendar

“Advocates for Western-Arab Relations”

 

The AWARE Center is a non-profit and non-governmental organization that was established in 2003 by a group of Arabs and Westerners whose aim was to promote positive relations between Westerners and Arabs through dialogue and friendship.  Since our opening in 2003, individuals from more than 50 countries have visited AWARE to take part in our cross-cultural activities. 

 

We hope you will join us as we share the culture of the Arabs and Muslims through a variety of programs scheduled during the month of November. 

For further details on any of our programs, you may contact our staff by telephone at

  2. Thanks, Ansam. I learned to read and write Arabic through a similar organization in Qatar, the Qatar Center for the Presentation of Islam. I will never forget those wonderful women, their good will, their patience with us, and how they taught us so much more than the lesson plans. God bless them! They are wonderful ambassadors.

  3. Oh, I have such fond memories of the tour of the national mosque that the Aware Center organized when I was visiting you in 2006. What a wonderful organization!
