Here’s an update to a previous LISNEWS story about the Jacksonville State professor who asked for donations of books to help Baghdad University.
Books have been coming in from all over the country spurred on by email and national news stories. Now money is needed to ship the books to Baghdad. The estimated cost is $3000.
Al-Hamandi said he’s been floored by the support from around the country and from his colleagues at JSU. “I don’t know these people,” he said. “I never met them and I probably never will. It just makes you feel you’re in a civilized place and there are a lot of good people.”
Books or checks made payable to Books for Baghdad may be sent to Dr. Al-Hamdani in care of the Department of Biology, Jacksonville State University, 700 Pelham Road North, Jacksonville, AL 36265-1602.
