Book Drive

The Cambodian Club at UH is collecting books to be donated to universities in Cambodia. The books will be given to the Royal University of Phnom Penh and the Royal University of Fine Arts, based on existing connections between Hawaii and these schools, and the schools' need of good texts in most fields.

Please donate any books that you feel are current and relevant within your field. The first trip to Cambodia will be in December and the book drive will continue into next semester.

All donations will be greatly appreciated!
