MiX Telematics Divisional Director of Operations, Jeandre Koen, spent his day in a wheelchair at the company’s head office in Midrand is support of LITTLE EDEN Wheelchair Campaign and this is what he had to say about his experience:
“So often, we overlook the challenges that persons with disabilities are faced with, and so, I feel very honoured to have been a part of this challenge in raising more awareness about disability. It has also been a great pleasure to work alongside Little Eden in helping them continue the impactful work that they do in the community. This experience was extremely life changing, and while, I only experienced what persons in wheelchairs go through daily to get around, in one day, those moments, truly entrenched a deeper understanding and immense amount of respect for these individuals as well as the people who provide care to them. So for this, I salute the folks at Little Eden for all the work that they do, and will continue to do.”
