Welcome to our 3rd annual Lift the Children Gala. We are honoured to have you as our guests. I want to extend my gratitude to each of you, as well as to our Lift the Children Board, our donors, sponsors, and volunteers for making this night possible. The amazing work that has been done over the past year has made a wonderful difference in the lives of the world’s most needy orphans. You truly helped “lift” these children from desperation to hopeful futures. On their behalf, please accept my heartfelt “Thank You” for your generosity. I am humbled by your presence here this evening. There is so much need.

Michael Nickels graduated from Guelph University in 1983 in Agribusiness. After working on many farms throughout Ontario, England, Spain, Australia, and Brazil, he bought a farm on Salt Spring Island, where he still lives, and developed Seven Ravens Permaculture Academy and Eco Forest. In 1990 Michael visited Africa as a tourist with a keen desire to explore the forests and wildlife. After 4 months, he opened up his ﬁrst of many tree nurseries in Africa, as he felt that he needed to do whatever he could to address the severe state of deforestation. Over the years, Michael has opened up more than 25 nurseries throughout East Africa and has worked with schools to train teachers and youth about trees and sustainable organic agriculture. The success and implementation of the Practical Permaculture institutes in Kenya and Uganda in 2013 and 2014 are a direct result of 25 years of relationship building and honed design approach by Michael Nickels of Seven Raven Permaculture Academy and Eco Forest. Michael’s work will have a long lasting effect on the wellbeing of East Africa, as people will have greater food security, better education, and an improved environment.
