Organization
The Kabul Medical Library Project is an official project of the Manitoba Medical Student's Association or MMSA.
Within the MMSA, the Kabul Medical Library Project falls under the International Health Group. The International Health Liaison of the IHG at the University of Manitoba is Magdalena Kujath. Currently, medical student representatives from each of Canada's medical schools are involved in the project and are assisting in fundraising the required donations.
The Kabul Medical Library Project itself is co-directed by two medical students: Kevin Warrian and Jason Tapper.
The project is currently sub-divided into seven committees, which include the:
|
|
Website Creation and Maintenance Committee |
|
|
Book Management Committee |
|
|
Book Location Committee |
|
|
Fundraising Committee |
|
|
National and International Shipping Committee |
|
|
Communications Committee |
|
|
Public Relations Committee |
The project's seven committees are staffed by over twenty student volunteers from the University of Manitoba's Faculty of Medicine, members of the local Afghan community and supporters from the greater Winnipeg area.
Finally, the project's founder, Dr. Richard Gordon, has continued to be intimately involved in the project's planning and coordination in an advisory capacity.
