Michael became involved in freeing child slaves when his friend and Hong Kong film star Vincent Lyn asked him to join his rescue team in Africa. The mission seeks to free children from child slavery along Lake Volta in Ghana, South Africa and other South African regions. Michael writes that his group "tries to go on as many missions as possible but target between 2-4 missions per year. We rescue children and bring them to a safe house where the children receive medical and psychological care with the hopes of rehabilitation and integration back with their families or new families that will take them in. We have two more missions planned for 2016. We'll also be working alongside the organization Challenging Heights and its founder James Kofi Anon, a former child slave himself. Read more about James, his story, and his organization here.
