Melalui kursus ini kami bukan sahaja berpeluang mengenali antara satu sama lain, malah dapat bertukar maklumat dan menjadi perujuk kepada klient di dalam NGO lain apabila memerlukan bantuan yang berkaitan.
Kursus ini juga penuh dengan ilmu pengetahuan dalam bidang pengendalian kerja sosial secara profesional dan skil yang amat diperlukan. Cuba bayangkan para peserta mendapat ilmu dan pengalaman daripada para pensyarah yang mempunyai pengalaman lebih dari 30 tahun dalam kerja-kerja sosial. Walaupun jadual amat ketat dengan ilmu dan latihan, namun para pensyarah berjaya menyalurkan pengetahuan yang amat diperlukan kepada peserta. Dengan pengetahuan yang dipelajari, saya percaya amalan kerja sosial para peserta akan menjadi lebih sempurna dan profesional di NGO masing-masing.
Saya berharap kursus seumpama ini dapat diperbanyakkan untuk menjadikan amalan kerja sosial di negara kita lebih efisyen. Masalah sosial di negara kita haruslah ditangani dengan bijaksana dan secara bersama. Kita dapat lihat bermacam jenis slogan indah dalam seruan agar masyarakat giat mengatasi masalah sosial, namun keberkesanan dan pelaksanaannya entah di mana. Mungkin masalahnya ialah cara pelaksanaan yang tidak betul. Oleh itu syabas diucapkan kepada para pensyarah dan organisasi yang terlibat dalam usaha meningkatkan keberkesanan peranan NGO dan kerja-kerja sosial seperti kursus ini, usaha anda semua amat dihargai… semoga Malaysia kita akan menjadi Cemerlang, Gemilang, dan Terbilang!
