We are helping them to lead a better life and become the future of this country.” – Chef Peter Pankhurst, Savoy Cabbage Restaurant, Cape Town Untitled-1.indd 3 5/23/18 3:31 PM 2 Chairman’s Message “We thank all of you for your commitment to our cause.” Melanie Burke PURPOSE - PASSION - PARTNERSHIP As I come to the end of my first term, I reflect on the incredible privilege it is to serve the StreetSmart SA community. I am keenly aware that purpose underpinned by passion and connected through partnership makes it possible for us to make a difference, together! Our restaurant partners, many who have been with us from the start, give us our strength and enable us to make impactful contributions to those who work towards the normalisation of the lives of vulnerable and street children. Untitled-1.indd 4 5/23/18 3:31 PM 3 Our operational sponsors who continue to support us in-kind, through services and monetary contributions, make it possible for us to ensure that 100% of the money raised in restaurants, actually reaches the intended beneficiary organisations. Our beneficiary organisations provide us with the platform to support impactful interventions. Through funding educational, skills development and family reunification programmes, street children and children at risk, are given opportunities to grow and thrive. Our diners, who make a difference simply by where they choose to dine and donate, have helped raise R1.12 million rand in 2017! These donations enabled us to fund 31 programmes in 11 towns and cities. We have also laid the foundations now to expand our footprint and to make it possible for more children to live viable lives. In these endeavours I am supported by fellow board members Nils Heckscher (vice- chairman), Margi Biggs (founder), Caroline Bagley, Su Birch, Bradley Bordiss, Annette Cockburn, Leonard Hersch, Sabelo Mzanywa, Janet Pillai, Marion Thomas and Rashied Toefy. Many drops make a river and through your collective support we are making a tangible and lasting difference in the lives of young people.

    B R I D G E H O U S E S C H O O L School Profile Mission Statement Bridge House is a sustainable South African learning community. In a changing world, we deliver a globally relevant education which realises each individual's potential to lead, innovate and serve with confidence. B R I D G E H O U S E S C H O O L The School Bridge House School is an independent, non-profit, co-educational, English-medium, day and boarding school for students from Playschool (2 years) to Grade 12. Boarding is available from Grade 6 to 12. History The school was established in 1995 by three founding families (Huxter, Friedman and Rands) and is celebrating its 25th year in 2020. In 1995, Graham Beck, owner of the neighbouring farm Bellingham, generously agreed to donate 10 hectares of an undeveloped corner of his farm and in mid-1998, the school moved from its original rented buildings to this spacious new campus. Before he passed away, Graham Beck donated an additional 18 hectares of land and Bridge House is now situated on 28 hectares in one of the most beautiful valleys in the world, with world-class facilities which have developed over time. Ethos The school's values are based on: integrity, love and compassion, health and vitality, positivity ('Can Do' attitude) and learning for life. As a member of the International Round Square Organisation the school is guided by the IDEALS (Internationalism, Democracy, Environment, Adventure, Leadership and Service). Bridge House is a multi-faith school.
