  AND WHAT IS SOCIAL WORK ?

Sometime in August 2012, I along with my school mates from lagos walked into the walls of Amadin orphanage Home, Benin city, without the slightest idea of what we were to do, all that was relayed to us was that we were on a SERVICE program. Two months down the lane, as we concluded our program, it was clear to that we were rally going to miss the children. Not specifically because of the company and the relationship, but because we had left an indelible mark in their lives. Our perception about orphaned children and life in general had changed.

Back to the question ‘what is social work’ . looking at this question, I am tempted to give a classroom definition, but I won’t, rather from a personal perspective, social work is an attitude, an act, a process; of effecting positive and sustainable change in the lives of individuals, groups, and societies.

From the explanations thus far, I guess you already have a glimpse of what social work is all about. As you read through subsequent articles on this blog, you would understand clearly what the concept stands for and how it relates significantly to we as individuals and members of a society.
