In this column,"Book Drive for Iraq," the creation of a new University in Iraq is described. You can do your part to send books to build democracy.
"Among the projects already underway are an M.B.A. program in concert with Hochschule Furtwangen University in Germany and an English preparatory program run jointly with the American English Institute at the University of Oregon. An environmental-studies department is envisioned, with money from the government of Italy, to address the recuperation of Iraq's southern marshes, the largest wetlands in the region, which were subjected to deliberate destruction by the regime of Saddam Hussein. The University of Vermont is hosting videoconferencing sessions in political science on such topics as federalism and church-state separation."
They are looking for up-to-date books in English.
"Get some decent volumes together, pass the word to your friends and co-workers to do the same, and send them off to:
Nathan Musselman
The American University of Iraq—Sulaimani
Building No. 7, Street 10
Quarter 410
Ablakh Area
Sulaimani, Iraq
(+964) (0)770-461-5099
It's important to include the number at the end."
I've already grabbed a stack to send off and will hit the post office later today.
Thanks!
