Dr. Safaa Al-Hamdani  Sends "Letter of Appreciation"
for JSU's Support of Books for Baghdad Project

Jacksonville State University's Dr. Safaa Al-Hamdani issues the following "Letter of Appreciation" to the students, faculty, staff, and administration for their generous support in connection with his third recently completed book drive in his Books for Baghdad project:

On behalf of the Books for Baghdad project, I would like to express my deepest appreciation to the students, faculty, staff, and administration for their generous support of this project. The last shipment of near 12,000 books and other educational items were sent to the Baghdad universities on June 21, 2007. This will bring the total book donations to over 55,000 text books.

I have received numerous e-mails from the faculty in Baghdad expressing their gratitude and appreciation for the help they have received during this difficult time.

Personally, I am overwhelmed by the generosity and support I have received from Jacksonville State University in completing this project. I would have never been able to accomplish this task without the help of my colleagues and friends at this university and the other universities across the US.

Peace,

Safaa Al-Hamdani
Professor of Biology
Jacksonville State University
Jacksonville, AL 36265
