DESCRIPTION:Would you like to do something of direct, clear benefit to the citizens of 
 Iraq?  \n\nIn conjunction with the Alalusi Foundation, a non-profit 
 organization that provide humanitarian aid to people in many parts of the 
 world, the Iraq Action Group and Student Health Professionals for Social 
 Responsibility at UCSF are working to organize an enormous shipment of 
 medical supplies that will be sent directly to a number of hospitals in 
 Iraq.  These supplies, useful for operating rooms, intensive care units and 
 emergency departments, and worth hundreds of thousand of dollars, were 
 donated by various local sources, and our job is to repack them in a way 
 that they can clear customs into Iraq and be useful to the healthcare 
 facilities in Baghdad and other cities.\n\nWe have already started this 
 process and now want to gear up to complete the task. At this point, we 
 estimate it will take about 50 people two more days to complete the work.  
 \n\nSo – please mark your calendars for Saturday November 1st and 
 Saturday, November 15th from 9-5 at the Alalusi Foundation warehouse in 
 Hayward.  We encourage all of you to invite your friends – we discovered 
 on the first day that anyone can be of help (although medical knowledge is 
 a plus).  We also found that it is extremely useful to have some people 
 with respiratory, operating room, or intensive care backgrounds.\n\nWe do 
 need to know how many people are coming so that arrangements can be made 
 for the expected turnout, so please RSVP by email to Dan Lowenstein at 
 lowenstein@medsch.ucsf.edu. \n\nPeace,\nMylo Schaaf, M.D. and Dan 
 Lowenstein, M.D.\nFor the Iraq Action Group at UCSF\n\n\n  \n
