Happy Retirement Roger

2/6/2021

0 Comments

 
The team at ITSA recently wished Roger a very well deserved and happy retirement. For over 15 years Roger (known to us all as Rog) has been travelling up and down the breadth of the country collecting computers and monitors from schools and businesses, loading them on to his van and bringing them back to ITSA as well as taking them (once the hard drives have been wiped) to the various prison we have used. 

Many people might not be aware but before working with ITSA, Roger had a history of going in and out of prison – (purely for legitimate reasons!) as he used to collect and deliver  bicycles for the Inside Out Trust – a charity where prisoners repair bikes which get sent out overseas. So it was a natural fit that Rog started working for us as he knew the challenges he would face.

Roger was presented with a unique handmade clock which was an exact miniature replica of his van, created by Marcel, made aptly from reused computer components.  "IT Schools Africa would not be the charity it is today without your enormous contribution. Most people greatly underestimate the challenges faced collecting equipment.  We cannot thank you enough for your dedication and hard work. Nothing was ever too much trouble for you.  We wish you a very deserved and well - earned retirement. You will be missed greatly by the whole team.”
