All money collected from WOW events is donated to the Hubei Children Affected By Aids/HIV Charity (also known as the Brussels’ AIDS Charity).
This charity was founded by David Wilmots, a former AIDS-prevention worker, and owner of Belgian restaurant/beer garden “Cafe Brussels”, and his project partner Prof. Gui Xi’en, Chief Physician, Department of Infectious Diseases, ZhongNan Hospital.
Hubei reports there are about 850 AIDS orphans, including 80 who are studying in senior high school or college. The Chinese government provide up to the age of 14 years (Gao Zhong) of free education for them but after this, the orphans are on their own.
The Hubei Children Affected by Aids/HIV Charity helps these orphans to give them opportunities to continue and graduate from their schools by providing tuition fees for those who really are in need.

Hi, I have been living in wuhan for a long time but just came to know about your group. It is a huge relief to know that a group like this exists. In tuned with the social work on my country, I felt uprooted when I came to China and found myself on the dark side of the language-barrier. Being enrolled in a heavy curriculum, I kept myself busy all this time. Now as I am finishing my school, I have been looking for groups or organizations to participate in. I am a fresh graduate, hence my financial status is pretty weak but I would love to contribute what I can in work. Is there any way I could get in touch with Mr. David Wilmots or Prof. Gui Xi’en to talk about possible opportunities? I studied at the Zhongnan Hospital and have graduate degree in Clinical Medicine. I’d be thrilled to get any input on this matter. Thanks again for all your contribution to Wuhan and her expats.
Have a Great Day!
