My wife is from Oran and we currently live in New York, USA. We want to relocate to Oran near her family. I was born and raised in New York.

I'm currently living in Oran, and I'm interested in being involved in any activities revolving around the English language, teaching courses, clubs, whatever is available in our tiny town!

I am still an English Language Fellow at the University of Oran and teaching English to first and second year students this year. With help from students the English language library is still functioning well. We have had the privilege and honor of receiving such a generous donation of books... you are so right to mention it! I contacted Books for Africa an association of all kinds of enthusiastic volounteers who want to help those with little access to books...by donating to schools and libraries especially those in Africa. Once Books for Africa had offered to help us here in Oran the problem was of course the expense of shipping the books from the US to Algeria. Better World Books kindly came to the rescue and offered to send the books for us to the port of Oran. Then with the grateful assistance of the rector of the university the books were cleared at the port and sent by truck to the campus. There has been great enthusiasm from all the students from this day until now to carry all the boxes of books, list them, and now read them! The campus librarians have also assisted in this project. I hope your studies in the US are successful and I congratulate you on your endeavor to learn English and also to eventually start a similar project in your Algerian university upon your return to your country. Algeria is a wonderful country, there is much to be done, and young Algerian students are highly competent and capable of contributing great things now and in the future. Martha Schouten Mustapha

Please may I know more of it? I remember how difficult the process of getting the necessary text for classes at the university. I am currently an Algerian TESL Master's student in the USA. I was not aware of programs for our university students such as I have read about on this site. Thank you for responding with info. Hello Mrs. Schouten,

I am very interested in your work and projects for books at the University in Oran. Please may I know more of it?
I remember how difficult the process of getting the necessary text for classes at the university.
I am currently an Algerian TESL Master’s student in the USA.
