About 2/2: … SW2B was created by a seasoned international social worker who has traveled extensively around the world doing social work connecting people and nations breaking all barriers in order to create a social world without borders. Cliff Nzombato who is based in Halifax Canada from where he coordinates the affairs of the organization.
SW2B is set up as an NGO to both respond to global humanitarian crises and their preventions. We are tired of talk and rhetorics, its time to stand up and actually DO something about the call for help.
