The WAB Community Market is organized by Charity Link, a branch of the WAB Parent Link. This annual market aims to create community, spread cheer and help to support our community partners. 

WAB Community Market is the place to go to pick up thoughtful holiday gifts, explore student projects and clubs, enjoy live student and band performances and to indulge in delicious food prepared by parents, student groups, community partners and Chartwells (WAB food services). It is a time where we collaborate with local businesses and non profit community partners in Beijing to create a holiday season shopping haven. Over the years, it had become THE market to go to get presents before everyone heads home for the holidays. In past years the market has had as many as 4500 attendees. 

“I appreciate that this market provides an opportunity for our WAB students to showcase their entrepreneurial skills and supporting a charity of their choice. It is a wonderful event that promotes both charitable endeavours and the growth of young students.” 

Fenny Lee Teo - WAB Parent and Charity Link Vendor Relations

"This year there will be a lot of unique gifts and a raffle with big and exciting prizes!. The market has a long-standing tradition at WAB and we’re so thrilled to be able to keep it going this year. I encourage our community to come along and enjoy the great vibes and holiday cheer. You won’t be disappointed!” 

said Juliette Mu, Charity Link Co-Lead

In previous years, the market featured everything from upcycled fashion, products made from recycled plastic caps, homemade hummus, baked goods, handmade ornaments, knitwear, student art and much more. It is a great place to get into the holiday spirit all while giving back to the community! 

Among the many vendors at this year's market will be Zamani Collection, Slow Lane, Beijing Postcards... while some of the charities that will be present include MCF, HOPE (Horse Offering People Enrichment), Springsations, Love&Hope.
