Social Work Club

Who Are We

The Social Work Club of Thames International College (SWCT) is one of the oldest clubs established and has been working relentlessly to promote volunteerism within the students and raise awareness on various social issues. Their annual fundraising events like Rose Day and Christmas Bazaar gives students a platform to explore their ideas to support communities in need.

A notable event organized by SWCT on World Social Work Day is the Social Work Symposium. This flagship event of Thames houses panel discussions, workshops, photo exhibitions, and guided tours revolving around a set theme for that particular year.

From the President

Jwajolopa [Greetings in Nepalbhasa]!

I am Siddhartha Guvaju, a BBA student at Thames International College. I am also serving as the President of the Social Work Club of Thames (SWCT) for the 2024/25 tenure. Despite pursuing a business degree, I have always been passionate about social justice and social work. Consequently, I joined the club and have been contributing ever since. The two years of my journey with this club has been a rollercoaster ride; it was difficult at times, but it was also an experience of learning, having fun, and giving back. The SWCT has presented numerous learning opportunities not only for me, but everyone that has been involved with the club. Personally, it's taught me to work with a diverse group of people, become a good leader, and definitely to exude more kindness as well as empathy.

Talking about the Social Work Club, it is one of the oldest clubs established. It has been working relentlessly to promote volunteerism within students and raise awareness on various social issues through fundraisers. As a structured club, SWCT believes, and wholly follows the idea of "giving back to the community". By its name, the main objective of the club is to promote Social Work within and beyond the college through different events, such as Christmas Bazaar and Rose Day.

For this year, I promise to create an impact in the college community and look forward to working with the incredible and talented bunch. We are ready to make this tenure a memorable one, for sure!

Thank you.
