|
society, from government institutions to schools and |
|
universities to social service agencies to the military; they |

serve on the front lines helping people to overcome the effects |
|
of natural disasters and wars and to make a return to peace and |
|
prosperity; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Social workers are an integral part of the fabric |
