The social worker is the doctor of society: The social worker diagnoses and
treats social problems, both at their roots in society, and through the symptoms
that appear in the community, the family, the child. Wahidullah Shinwar, MSW
Program Director, Achiana, an Afghan NGO
The social worker must be the mediator between the society and the person. In
fighting for rights they must understand the true meangin of Holy Quran; that it
is not the same as local custom and belief. They must have the strength and
capacity to teach these things, so that children and families can be protected
even in the most difficult times Program Coordinator, Medica Mondiale, A

use the knowledge to teach us to fight for ourselves, for our families, and
educate our people. Community elder from Kandahar

succeed you must work with the people, not for them and not look down on
anybody you must be a person who models what it is to be a friend to all
