Dear Colleagues,
After the recent tragic train accident
in Santiago, Spain, many Social Workers across the country have contacted the
General Council of Social Work in Spain offering to work as volunteers with the
local emergency groups.
Ana Isabel Lima, president of the
Spanish Association of Social Workers felt even more proud to be a social
worker and thanked all colleagues from Spain for their solidarity with the
families’ victims and for the great intervention colleagues from Galicia have
managed to provide locally.
Social Workers have been in the front
line supporting families in grief during these days.
IFSW European executive deeply regrets
this tragedy and sends condolences to the families of the victims.
We also feel very proud to hear about
the great solidarity of social workers and their willingness in supporting
voluntarily their colleagues in Galicia.
IFSW Europe is always keen to promote
social work intervention to help giving more visibility to the social work
profession that has a fundamental role in emergency’s situations.
We congratulate our Spanish colleagues
for their action in dealing with such a tragic situation and send our best
wishes and support from Europe.
With best wishes,
Cristina
Martins
President
of the IFSW European Region
[International Federation of Social Workers –
Europe e.V.]
