As the biggest Sierra Leonean/Gambian organization, AWOL-GAM is a stand-alone organization but firmly believes in the objective of constructive nationalism to the development of our peoples in their communities.
AWOL-Gambia was officially launched in November 2017 by a group of hardworking and development-oriented Sierra Leoneans and Gambians with the aim of contributing to community development through charitable activities and the sustenance of peace between Sierra Leoneans and Gambians in the country.
The biggest success story of AWOL-Gambia is the creation of AWOL Chapters in the Diaspora, AWOL Global in Sierra Leone, AWOL- United Kingdom, AWOL-USA and now AWOL-Australia. AWOL started its operations in earnest in The Gambia in 1998-99 and had it first AWARD ceremony in Banjul in 2000. Hence AWOL-GAMBIA is here to stay!
The executive and general membership of AWOL-Gambia is kindly urging its esteemed supporters and sympathizers to join them on 15December 2023 at the Pencha Mii Hall, Paradise Suite Hotel and Resort in Senegambia, as they celebrate exceptional achievements of vibrant nominees and applaud their relentless pursuit of a better tomorrow.
"Thank you for your continued support, and together, and let's embrace the spirit of positive change and acknowledge those who embody the very essence of AWOL Gambia's core values," the organization states.
