Details:

It's a project to collect books for the out-of-date libraries in Mosul university in Iraq.

I'm planning to start by collecting books in enviromental engineering , since that's mom's majority. She asked the head of the department and he gave her the department e-mail, and agreed on the project.

If anyone has books in reach, on the environmental engineering field, it would be great if you could mail them to the department. I am also planning to collect donations to buy books of choice by the head of the department and mom, and to subscribe to magazines depending on the amount of the money I collect.

If anyone would like to participate in anyway, or has suggestions, please e-mail me.

I also wrote to Nancy, I remembered her saying that she was going to do such project and she said that you might be able to help in caling for different universities to hold drives in their schools at the end of the year to collect books and send them here. Can anyone do that?

It is my #1 step to change.. Hope it goes well. I have already tried the mailing service in Iraq, and it works, but since we're going to subscribe through the Internet, I have set a paypal account which you can donate to by clicking on the button on the sidebar.

You can also buy books from the wishlist I created with mom, sending them to yourself then to us since mailing to Iraq is not an option in Amazon, unless you want to try sending them from a website other than Amazon.

The address you should use for sending the books is:

The head of the civil engineering department [E-mail me to get names]
University of Mosul
College of Engineering
Civil engineering department
Mosul - Iraq

I will get mom to spend some more time to choose more books and magazine subscriptions maybe..

Please feel free to spread news about the project, or contact whomever you can. If there's anything else that needs to be explained, tell me, and I'll try to put more details about that.
