- Abstract
In June 2018, I was fortunate enough to attend and present at the IASWG Symposium at Kruger National Park in South Africa. It was a truly amazing experience. However, in July of 2019, I was once again able to return to the African continent, this time to visit the IMVELO organization in Zimbabwe, where I learnt about its work to raise funds for the following three schools: Ngamo Primary School, Mlevu Primary School and St Joseph's Primary School. These three schools are located in the rural villages of Hwange National Park. During this visit, I was able to observe the incredible work carried out between IMVELO and the local communities. The overarching theme of the IASWG 2018 symposium had been 'Groupwork in Communities.' On my visit to Hwange, I witnessed the impact of groupwork in rural Zimbabwean communities. On my return home, I reviewed the groupwork literature, and it reinforced what I observed and encountered in Zimbabwe and the wonderful sense of community, sustainability, cooperation, integration of programs, social action and empowerment.
