Why Social Work?“Social work is a very versatile field that allows me to work with a spectrum of ages. Social work is a profession where I can work directly with people and have a big impact on their lives working one-on-one with clients. In the long run, my goal is to use social work to help my people – the people of Sri Lanka.” |
