The Global Leader and Godfather of All Works of Life (AWOL), Ambassador Anthony Navo Jr., has officially decorated and crowned the newly elected Chairman of AWOL United States of America (AWOL-USA), Mohamed Majid Kamara. The ceremony took place during the 10th AWOL America Achievement Awards and Appreciation event on September 6, 2025, at the Waterford Event Center in Springfield, Virginia.

In his keynote address, Ambassador Anthony Navo Jr. congratulated Mohamed Majid Kamara, describing his appointment as a step forward in strengthening AWOL’s mission of societal development. He highlighted that the organization continues to make a difference in the lives of Sierra Leoneans through initiatives in healthcare, education, sustainable development and poverty alleviation.

The Global Leader and Godfather also extended appreciation to the outgoing Chairman, Mohamed Killo Banya, for his outstanding service in elevating AWOL-USA to greater heights.

Ambassador Anthony Navo Jr. underscored AWOL’s global presence, with headquarters in Sierra Leone and active branches in the United Kingdom, Australia, The Gambia and the United States of America. He stressed that AWOL remains apolitical, working to complement successive Governments in their nation-building efforts. As part of its impact, AWOL Global has undertaken major projects, including the construction of a modern primary school in Sierra Leone.

The event, which brought together distinguished guests from across the diaspora, also showcased AWOL’s tradition of celebrating excellence and inspiring unity among Sierra Leoneans. The annual awards honor individuals and communities who have excelled in areas such as philanthropy, business and the arts. Prestigious categories include the Moseray Fadika Humanitarian Award, Sierra Leone Thriving Local Business of the Year and Sierra Leonean Actor/Actress of the Year.

This year’s ceremony served as a platform to not only recognize hard work but also to share stories of perseverance and collective achievement. It reinforced AWOL’s commitment to unity, excellence and service while inspiring Sierra Leoneans at home and abroad to continue contributing meaningfully to national development. https://thecalabashnewspaper.com/awol-global-leader-crowns-mohamed-majid-kamara-as-new-chairman-of-awol-usa/
