NAPSA Congress Textbook Drive

NAPSA is organising a Textbook Drive that aims to raise as many textbooks as possible to be donated to less fortunate Pharmacy students in the Asia-Pacific region.

All textbooks should be brought to Sydney Congress by your Branch delegates where they will be collected and sent to a nominated country in our region. Start rummaging through your cupboards for those textbooks and DONATE them for a good cause!!!

For more details, please contact a committee member from your branch.
