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.
