The Sierra Leone Educational Enrichment Project (SLEEP) at UT Southwestern student organization is working to build the only library at the only medicine and sciences school in Sierra Leone, where the most recent documents date to 1987. A drop box is available at the South Campus Library until September 27 to accept donations of textbooks, journals, CDs, DVDs, and other relevant medical and science materials that can help train doctors in Sierra Leone.
SLEEP is a not-for-profit corporation (501(c)3) incorporated in New York and based out of Harvard, Duke, USC, and recently UT Southwestern, which focuses on improving primary, secondary, and post-secondary education in Sierra Leone, one of the poorest countries on Earth (GDP per capita).
