This day was fun. The students were just hearing about Social work for the first time! and they were interested in how it began and if its in operation in Nigeria. Yes it is!but we need more hands and recognition too. Hopefully they will join in the work and the fight to ensure vulnerable members of society are well protected and their needs met.
