We hope this wheelchair will significantly enhance his mobility and independence.”

The donation ceremony was held at Dominion University College in Accra, where Professor Nsowah-Nuamah, Vice President of GSA Professor Ezekiel N.N. Nortey, and Deputy General Secretary Mr. James Amewudah, handed over the wheelchair to Isaiah and his family.

The gesture is part of GSA’s ongoing initiative to improve the lives of individuals with disabilities, reflecting their dedication to social responsibility.
