ESANA's
Book Campaign
The goal of this project is to collect donated books and journals from all
disciplines to update the libraries of the Egyptian Universities. Every
year, ESANA members collect donated books, references and periodicals
worth about one million dollars and ship them to an Egyptian university.
Each year, an Egyptian university is selected to
receive the donated materials and incurring only the shipping expenses
of these materials.
