AWARE Events

AWARE is a cool place where people transitioning to life in Kuwait can learn about the country and the culture.  In my humble opinion, they do a LOT more than the official Kuwait tourism board does to promote understanding of Kuwait and to present Kuwait in a positive light to foreigners.  To learn more about them, go to their website at http://www.aware.com.kw/.

These are some of their upcoming events.
