With the start of the school year Edenvale High School teacher Phillip Nell and the school received a very special surprise.
At the school’s first assembly of the year a fully electronic wheelchair was donated by IT Cares for Nell.
Since joining Edenvale High, Nell used a manual wheelchair.
Teachers and learners have been an incredible support to Nell and have helped him whenever needed.
Although the school is well-equipped, maneuvering around in a manual wheelchair can be tedious and time-consuming.
Last year Dowerglen runner, Nuno Morais, drove a number of running campaigns to raise funds for a new wheelchair and hoist for Nell.
The school rallied around Morais and Nell to drive the campaigns which were a success.
Edenvale High thanked IT Cares for their assistance.
