Visit 28 for 28
GDWG helps us to gain more insight into the problems faced by detainees, as well as the general system they are contained in. They are insightful, aware, compassionate, and dedicated. Overall, we see their input as an integral part of the psycho-social system and without them, life for the detainees would be even more unbearable. Maeve Crowley
