My name is Lillian Kwande and I am interested in the social work position within your company. I think this position would be a perfect fit, as it will allow me to utilize my education and social work experience, as well as my passion for promoting the well-being of individuals and their families. My most recent experience includes medical social work at Hospice Hospital in Stellenbosch, South Africa. As both a practicum student and now a voluntary employee, I have worked on the pediatric, maternal infant, pediatric intensive care and neonatal intensive care units, as well as the emergency room and trauma unit. I have excelled in this culturally diverse, multi-disciplinary, fast-paced environment and have witnessed first-hand the impact policies and the status of the economy affect children and families access to both preventative and routine social services and healthcare. Prior to this experience in South Africa, I have provided school social work services at University of Stellenbosch. At the University, I conducted assessments and provided counseling services to at risk youth and their families. Additionally, I have dedicated my previous work and volunteer experiences to children and families battling chronic illnesses and adults near the end of their lives, which has allowed me to develop distinguishing characteristics that I can bring to your organization. I am committed to working with undeserved and diverse families during times of crisis. Enclosed please find my resume for review. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to meeting with you personally. You may contact me via email at or phone.
