How could i have forgotten to talk about Social Workers' Day 2007??
It was such a memorable and historical event.
It was the 20th of JAnuary at the National youth council, Scape Youth Park.
There were hundreds of people. We paid tribute to 8 senior Social workers who are pioneers..2 of them were my lecturers, Ann Wee and Mr Vasoo. They are above 70 years of age. Toiling in this field for that long. oH, and fyi, President SR Nathan was also in the pioneer batch.
There was an important speech by Dr Vivian Balakrishnan. He said 11 million was going to be pumped into the social services to increase funding and our salaries. I hope to see that materialise soon. real soon.
The joys and laughter.
The reunion of hearts.
One passion, one dream.
The dream to make an impact.
To stand in the gap.
To provide empowerment and equal opportunities
and many more.
How could anyone there
Forget their destiny in this profession
Even if i wanted to, i simply can't seem to anymore.
It ended with rain. Rain of blessings.
What a great Saturday.
One that i will never forget in my life.
