Books Without Borders Extension 2009-2010
On March 26th 2009, the Rights & Democracy Network Delegation at McGill University completed a book drive which succeeded in collecting 46 textbooks for law students at the University of Zimbabwe. During the summer of 2009, the McGill delegation was awarded a grant of 12,500 USD from the Oak Foundation to continue its work in solidarity with the University of Zimbabwe and the law students.
The delegation has decided to extend this project in 2009-2010. The supply of student textbooks at the University of Zimbabwe is insufficient, making it difficult for law students and lawyers in Zimbabwe to fulfill their roles in defending the Zimbabwean population against human rights abuses.
Our goal this year is to continue to purchase and provide key human rights and law textbooks to the University of Zimbabwe law school and library. We would like to develop a sustainable partnership between the law faculties of McGill University and the University of Zimbabwe.
To get involved, please contact the delegation at mcgillrdnetwork@gmail.com
En 2009-10, la délégation de McGill continuera à fournir des manuels sur le droit international et les droits humains à la faculté de droit à l’université du Zimbabwe. Nous aimerions développer un partenariat durable entre la faculté de droit à l’université McGill et celle à l’université du Zimbabwe.
