ANNUAL REPORT the Story of Our Star Our Logo, Based on the Lasallian Star, Is a Central Part of Our Long Tradition and History 2013 ANNUAL REPORT The story of our Star Our logo, based on the Lasallian star, is a central part of our long tradition and history. It calls to mind “The Starfish Story”, by Loren Eiseley, and the difference that we can make in the life of each and every child in need. Adapted from ‘The Star Thrower’ by Loren Eiseley Once upon a time there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself to think of someone who would dance to the day. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean. As he got closer he called out, “Good morning. What are you doing?” The young man paused, looked up and replied, “Throwing starfish in the ocean.” “I guess I should have asked why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?” “The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don’t throw them in they’ll die.” “But, young man, don’t you realise that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can’t possibly make a difference!” The young man listened politely. Then bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves and said, “It made a difference for that one.” Contents 2 The Starfish Story 4 Chairman & Chief Executive Officer’s Report 6 Acknowledgements 6 Major contributors 11 Events – Sponsors and Supporters 11 Fundraising and Child Sponsorship India 17 School Fundraising 14 Our Board 17 Project Details 17 India 18 Myanmar 19 Pakistan 24 Papua New Guinea 26 South Sudan Pakistan 19 27 Sri Lanka 31 Vietnam 32 Community Education and Advocacy 32 Grant Summary 33 About The Lasallian Foundation 33 Our Mission and Objectives 33 Our Operational Principles 33 Our Vision Papua New Guinea 24 34 Our Values 35 Financial Report South Sudan 26 © 2013 All material contained in this Annual Report is For information or to donate: + 61 3 9508 2700 subject to copyright owned by or licensed to Lasallian and + 61 3 9508 2702 Foundation.

  • Annual Report 2012
    Annual Report 2012 Yellow Brick Road Holdings Limited ABN 44 119 436 083 2012 represented a year of investing for growth in Yellow Brick Road. In a 12 month timeframe, we’ve launched a nationally recognised brand, built a network of branches across the country, and created a suite of products and services to rival any major banking institution... and we’re just getting started. ANNUAL REPORT 2012 Section One 04 Executive Chairman’s Letter 06 Chief Executive Officer’s Report 10 Year in Review Highlights 12 Building the Brand 14 The Road to Advice 16 Our Product and Service Capability 18 Directors’ Profiles 20 Executive Committee Bios Section Two 01 2012 Directors’ Report and Financial Statements Executive Chairman’s Letter 2012 has been a defining year for Yellow Brick Road with a deliberate focus on investing for growth. The GFC provided us with an opportunity to capitalise on the shrinking banking sector by building a business to challenge the major institutions and their stranglehold on the market. We’ve had the chance to be significantly competitive against the banks, and we’ve taken the opportunity and built one of the most recognised alternatives in the market on a very modest investment and in a very short timeframe. Over the past year we have invested shareholder’s funds to build a nationally recognised brand, a network of branches across the country and correlated a product and services portfolio that financial consumers want, rolled out through training programs to our network. Your company has done this in record time for a modest amount of money in relative terms and against enormous head winds that even the four big banks of Australia are now making reference to.

Not that she had probably noticed he had moved on. The wannabe actress and number one ticket holder for the Elouera Beach Car Park okay, I'm being mean — one of the Sutherland Shire's finest daughters goes through men just as vigorously as the Cronulla Sharks get through coldies after a game. Her appetite is insatiable, especially if the guy is rich and famous. Michael, sadly, was only filthy rich and wasn't all that keen on seeing his photo front and centre with Belle's in my BFF Luke Jefferson's column in The Sun. Michael and Belle broke up shortly after the action-packed Coco Man of the Year Awards, when she had been caught giggling behind a toilet cubicle with Dev — lead singer of The Dread, who had been performing that night. Michael had walked in on them unexpectedly and, well, when he wanted to leave straight away I organised him an Uber car from the event, but I managed to jump in as well. Michael had been excellent company for me during the night, keeping me calm and pouring the odd drink for me while Belle flitted around. Once it was clear that he and Belle were over for good, I accidentally on purpose found myself running into him all over town.
