Hello Pre-Pharmacy Members.
 
Through the aid of NMDP (National Marrow Donor Program), the Afghan Student Association will be hosting a Bone Marrow Drive at University of New Mexico on March 3rd and 4th. Your participation as a chartered club on campus is greatly needed!
 
They need volunteers to help during the times of 10 am to 2 pm on both days. Things you will be doing are as follows:
 
• Help set up tables
• Handout consent forms
• Recruit students, faculty and members of the community
          to join the registry
• Supervise buccal swabs by donors
 
They are looking for responsible students who understand privacy matters and are mature enough to handle such a task. Although the procedure is not extensive, there is legal and private information involved. They request that
if anyone from Pre-SCRIPT would like to help to send an e-mail to:
 
Nawid Farhad
Afghan Student Association
nfarhad@unm.edu
505-715-9668
 
Also, this drive is open to anyone who is in healthy condition between ages of 18-60. There is no cost to join the registry.
 
Thank you,
 
Dr. Thompson
