Recycle Your Used Medical Textbooks Through the Minds of Others!

DONATE THEM FOR SHIPMENT TO THE  GULU MEDICAL SCHOOL IN NORTHERN UGANDA

The library of Gulu Medical School needs basic medical books. Shortage of funds precludes ordering of the books that are needed. Please consider donating any used textbooks that you no longer need to Beaverton Rotary Club’s “Books For The World Project”, which has shipped more than 400 tons of still-useful used textbooks from the Portland area to Uganda, Thailand and Cambodia since 2000. Your books can be included in the next shipment to Gulu University, which will be sent about the end of the summer.

You can deliver your books to the Blue Bird Transfer Inc. warehouse at 7555 SW Tech Center Drive, off SW 72nd Ave. in Tigard between 7:30 am and 4 pm M-F or you can call 503-533-4190 or e-mail rj.lockard@verizon.net for pick-up.  Locally, contact Shirley Pryor-Pyne at 360-642-2789.

“Books for the World” is a World Community Service Project of Beaverton Rotary Club and many partners, including our own Rotary Club of SW Pacific County Peninsula.
