Opening speech by Dr. Kenneth Kaunda, the Minister of local government and social welfare at the opening session on 21 october 1963

Abstract

This is, for me, a very proud occasion. To have here the United Nations, not merely in one of its sections but in three - the Economic Commission for Africa, the United Nations Bureau of Social Affairs, and the Technical Assistance Board - to have them as well as such a distinguished body of consultants and experts come here to our Oppenheimer College to discuss the future of social work training in Africa is indeed an honour for this country, a signal privilege for this College, and, I trust, a mark of the very real esteem in which Northern Rhodesia and its progress in social work training is held internationally.
