Bio
Dr. Jacob Naish
Michael Richardson is a passionate, committed and experienced practitioner in the community/youth development and sport for development spaces.I've known him for over ten years now. He's got an exceptional heart and soul for what he does - truly stand out in this regard - and this translates to the most dedicated and thoughtful working practice you could hope to find in a colleague. He's one of the hardest working people you will ever meet. His commitment to professionalism, and to getting the job done at the highest possible standard is exemplary. Finally his experience, especially in the Sport for Development space is unique. Field work in Southern and West Africa is complimented by a proven track record at Coaching for Hope, and a demonstrable set of results in the International Citizenship Service. I wholeheartedly and proudly recommend Michael.

Even though Michael was not directly supervising the work I was doing in Lesotho I have still had a number of professional dealings with him. He has always been incredibly approachable, resourceful, and prompt. His input and support have been invaluable to me and have helped me settle into a new job and a new country.
