Health care clinicians in Iraq are seeking medical books that are not more than one edition out, and journals less than 5 years old, CD's and DVD also welcome. Please remove identifying names and addresses, but a note with email address is OK.
Boxes should be no more than 70 pounds. Length plus girth of each box must be less than 108 inches. Specify "books/media rate." Postage costs are only to the US Army post office (domestic).
For the post office address or more information about donations, email David Gifford, M.D., at dgifford@hot.rr.com
This notice was in the AAP news on March 2011 (www.aapnews.org).
I imagine that Iraq is not the only place where medical books and nursing books are sorely needed. If you are aware of other places that could use donations, please feel free to comment on this blog and let us all know.
This is a great way to recycle out your last edition when you replace it with the newest one! Much better than putting it on a shelf or in a landfill!
