The AWCH Board of Directors is pleased to announce Yumi Akins as our new Honorary President. Yumi moved to Hamburg in July this year to join her husband Darion Akins, the newly appointed U.S. Consul General in Hamburg. Yumi was born in Japan, where she also met her husband. In addition to spending many years in the USA, she has joined her husband on his diplomatic missions in Malaysia, India, Australia, and Indonesia. Many of us had the opportunity to meet Yumi at our recent Club-O-Rama event, which also provided a great chance for Yumi to become familiar with the wide spectrum of activities AWCH offers and the sense of community that AWCH brings to our lives. We wish Yumi all the best for her stay in Hamburg and look forward to working with her.

AWCH is supporting the charity run Laufend Gegen Gewalt on August 18. This run is organized by the five Hamburg Women's Shelters, which protect women and children who are threatened or affected by domestic violence. All proceeds will benefit the shelters. 

AWCH members, families, kids, and friends are welcome to run or walk around the Alster or to just cheer on the runners and enjoy the auxiliary programs.  We are asking our members for donated baked goods as well as help dispensing water at the charity run.

See the AWCH calendar for all the details: https://www.awchamburg.org/activities/activities-calendar/icalrepeat.detail/2019/08/18/1088/243/charity-run-laufen-gegen-gewalt.html. Contact Carol S. at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Women's Health is the aim of the new Women's Circle. Aiming is to bring women together to learn, discuss, share, empower & inspire each other. The topics covered will be varied but focus on women's health in the various forms that it takes. The first Women's Circle will be a workshop on the relationship between your body and mind and how that impacts your health. And of course a little about FAWCO.

If you have any suggestions of topics you would be interested to be part of another Women's Circle please email Christine R. at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
