University of Saskatchewan Students are organizing a book collection drive to collect books and computers from U of S students and faculty. The collected items will be donated to HELP International who will ship them to Kenya as part of HELP's Books and Computers for Africa project. The project assists in setting up schools and community libraries in the slums of Nairobi, Kenya.

This books collection drive is being led by Berverly Wudel, a student in the College  of Pharmacy & Nutrition at the U. of S. The books will be shipped to HELP's Weyburn office by Jays' Moving who have been very generous and have been delivery books to Weyburn from as far as Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan.
