F E A T U R E D

It is a privilege to present our annual report to you. We have had another incredible year of

Change Agent Magic - contributing our special puzzle piece to crime prevention and

diversion in our beautiful South Africa.

It moves my soul to experience how those we journey with allow themselves the experience of

awakening to more of themselves and a deeper sense of purpose. I often say to our students:

Do not underestimate the ripple of your awakening

We experience its heartwarming impact on how we live and (un)learn together. A living and

(un)learning that is authentic and kind… that is generous… that is honest and

transparent… that stretches and encourages… that heals our wounds and edits our

old stories. It is a living and (un)learning that allows the student their own unique path… also

the tough patches! There is nothing more liberating than walking the plank of a perception!

Come with me. Experience the unique unfolding of a Change Agent Journey. Students

awakening to their inner coach, healer and guide and firing up their entrepreneurial spirit

all while assisting and guiding others to do the same.

FOREWORD Karina Andersen | Founder

We have enjoyed another amazing year of learning, guidance and adventure. I am very proud of

our achievements and our growth. With amazing cooking art, music, fruit & veg, book keeping and

painting there are so many windows of opportunities in our new projects. It makes me as a Change

Agent and Project Manager really enthusiastic about our new year.

What stands out significantly for me is the commitment of each student involved in our projects;

they have brought a special ingredient every single day. Phumzile has taken his cooking art to the

next level and in collaboration with RUC cooked up a storm at a recent event; in our CMD music

project we have experienced Bryan, Paul, Retro and Lucian working in collaboration on a demo

album; Fabio has in parolee support felt inspired to start a small Fruit & Veg entrepreneurial

business; Monwabisi has blessed his community with bookkeeping classes; in our Prison Process

we have had 60 highly dedicated students active in our process. These are just some of the

amazing highlights though our past year. All waiting for you in this report.

I am excited about what lies ahead - especially with our upcoming project house with a brand new

production studio and radio on the horizon; a kitchen fully equipped for our food project and a

stunning office space to accommodate more of our Change Agent Projects.

To you dear reader, to my fellow Change Agents in the making, to our dedicated participants, our

valued sponsors and our volunteers I am sending much love and huge appreciation for making the

year so special and adding such tremendous value to our journey. We appreciate your special

puzzle piece.

FOREWORD Franklin Esau | Change Agent

OUR VISION IN ACTION…

1. We facilitate CIRCLES OF CHANGE (COC) in highly challenged South African communities establishing a foundation for development with our personal values-based

leadership program: THE RESPONSIBLE INDIVIDUAL (TRI).

2. We educate CHANGE AGENTS who facilitate dynamic COC processes within their communities which include: prisons, families, schools, youth at risk, businesses and organisations – in society at large.

3. Our CHANGE AGENTS are ROLE MODELS who also assist the important phase of Re-Integration, reducing the recidivism rate by helping parolees to build the bridge back into society, back home into their families and communities.

4. We are an EMPOWERMENT ARM for our beneficiaries, their families and communities. We do not do it for them. We do it with them. ”Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” The COC empowers the journey of each student towards sustainable livelihood, operating in an Abundant Exchange.

5. We strongly believe in SUSTAINABILITY and that everything brought to a community must be able to stay and be nurtured within the community for continuous learning and growth.

OUR VISION Social Cohesion,

Crime Diversion & Prevention

“We are continuously developing as a community. We thrive on shared values, s h a r e d c h a l l e n g e s a n d e q u a l opportunities. We walk united in diversity, each one of us knowing that it starts with a better ME (my individual responsibility) for a better WE (our s h a re d re s p o n s i b i l i t y ) . We a re committed and passionate about contributing to the wellbeing of everyone in society. We build bridges instead of walls.

WE ALL OWN A SHARE IN THE WELL-BEING OF OUR SOCIETY!

OUR PORTFOLIOS RE-INTEGRATION PRIOR RELEASE | PRISONS

We have brought TRI to 3 Western Cape Prisons in 2015/16:

Malmesbury Prison (32)

Helderstroom Prison (8)

Worcester Prison (20)

5 of our 7 Facilitators initially met SmilingOne inside prison while incarcerated and are trained as

Responsibility Coaches in our COC College.

3 of the 5 facilitators are today successfully re-integrated and earn an income by facilitating

and being an example of TRI - inside/out prison.

2 of the 5 facilitators are still incarcerated and guiding their fellow inmates through TRI not

just in sessions but also through being an example of the TRI lifestyle in their living environment

Our 7 Facilitators have in the 3 prisons had 60 inmates in session in Phase 1.

15 of the 60 have qualified to move into Phase 2

4 of the 15 have qualified to move into Phase 3 and are in training as Facilitators


ARTICLE BY BRADLEY HESS

TRI FACILITATOR (COC COLLEGE 6+ YEARS)

My process with the clients/peers over this period has been all about commitment, trust, interaction and continuous support.

One of our sessions on The Observer assisted us to look deeper into our Purpose, our Identity and Direction. It has been a time of deeply thoughtful processes, a chance for all of us to implement our tools: to observe, to take ownership of our reactions, to express anger and fear in a non confrontational way and to give space for new development.

In session we have learnt to own our feelings, to feel them, to name them and to tell them. The peers have also assisted me to reflect and learn so much more than just ‘the theory’. Some of the peers responses were: “I observe my words and my actions… I own the hurtful words and actions that I do to others… I now learn about things I do when I am stressed and feeling threatened… I stop hurting people with my words and my actions coz I don’t want them to do it to me… I am doing to others what was done to me by my Dad when I was a child…

It has been amazing to see how purposeful each session is, how the peers handle conflict and the trust there is between us. It is inspiring to be part of their lives, allowing them and myself to develop, to learn and grow and to love in our own pace and understanding.

I have related to the peers in meaningful ways to ensure that as they develop they can proudly say “I did that myself”.


“Life is like the sea. Sometimes it is up, sometimes it is down. It is time to think about past happenings. Where we lost track. Now is a chance to look into it. I met someone who did not want to look back into the past. I said to him: if you want to make sure you are on track make the change - you have to go back to see who you were back then, not to do the same as you did back then. We go back to rectify. Many don’t want to look back. But we must remember that we learn from the past. Our past is our teacher.”

Igshaan DavidsTRI 2 Graduate | COC College 3+ years

Objective 2016/17: We offer our Services in 5 Western Cape Prisons

We continue to offer our services at Malmesbury and Worcester Prisons. We fundraise and continue our services at Helderstroom Prison and open two more prison processes 1) Brandvlei Juvenile Centre and 2) Pollsmoor Prison. We value our partnership with DCS.

We welcome 100 committed inmates to train in our SmilingOne COC College.

The evidence of COC Education is to be found in 1) how each Student lives into the learning and becomes an example - a Role Model - of it every single day and 2) how each Student passes on the learning to his/her family and community.


OUR PORTFOLIOS RE-INTEGRATION POST RELEASE | CHANGE AGENTS | PAROLEE & FAMILY SUPPORT

The path of Re-Integration asks of commitment and discipline to live into personal values-based leadership. It is particularly challenging upon release from a Correctional Centre. Support is KEY.

We offer Parolee & Family Support for our Students and have in 2015/16 assisted 9 parolees/

ex-parolees as they have continued their TRI/COC studies with SmilingOne.

As part of their COC Education each student has:

1) deepened their ‘Sharing’ Practice and were offered weekly TRI sessions

2) explored and invested in their ‘Caring’ Practices and contributed to 7 Community Projects: our

Prisons Project, Phumzile’s Khayelitsha Project, Franklin’s CMD Project, Fabio’s Belhar Project, Malcolm’s Car Project, Monwabisi’s Bookkeeping Project and Welcome’s Solace Project

3) explored their ‘I am a Resource’ Entrepreneurial Practice and have been inspired to find further

study and job opportunity. We have through sponsorships offered 3 of the 9 Parolees income

directly via SmilingOne. 5 of the 9 parolees have attended the Responsibility Coach Education

offered by SmilingOne. 1 of the 9 parolees have made accounting his career and teaches

others.

Objective 2016/17: We offer 12 parolees & their families support as well as 5 parolees/ex-

parolees income directly via SmilingOne as part of their ‘I am a Resource’ Entrepreneurial Practice.


PHUMZILE SALELA Khayelitsha Project

A truly special path of reintegration! We at SmilingOne feel fortunate to both witness and be part of Phumzile’s COC journey - he has from the moment he stepped outside the correctional centre on November 10th 2015 amazed us with his incredible heart. He moves with poetry in his soul and it is the greatest privilege to journey alongside him.

Phumzile has trained with SmilingOne since 2012 and started his Responsibility Coach Educational Training in 2014 in Worcester Prison - fully activated in his COC.

We involved Phumzile in daily activities in the first 3 months of his Day Parole from Pollsmoor Prison. He was given transport money to be able to travel to the projects. He joined Franklin in the CMD Community Project in Elsies River Wednesdays and in Fabio’s project in Belhar on Tuesdays. He also spend valuable time with his family in Khayelitsha, building the bridge back home into his family.

Phumzile set up a TRI facilitation space in his home where he weekly (Thursdays) hosted 14

community members for sessions. Shortly thereafter he added the Zola Business School to his

outreach portfolio, facilitating weekly TRI for a class of 18 children and offering drama &

poetry classes on Fridays. Once a week he dedicated his time to his inner TRI journey in session with Franklin. Bi-weekly he attended his coach educational training with Karina.

SOULFUL - VISIONAIRY - DEDICATED - POET - SELF MOTIVATED

Objective 2016/17: we continue to support Phumzile in his re-integration journey - a COC in full blossoming. This includes an entrepreneurial food adventure, poetry and drama adventure and continued sharpening of the TRI Facilitator Toolbox. It is Phumzile’s objective to be a role model

for more than 50 youth, women and men in his community.


PHUMZILE SALELA Khayelitsha Project


FABIO JACOBS Belhar Project

It has been an exciting journey to walk hand in hand with Fabio who did his TRI1+2 in Goodwood Prison from 2011-13. He reunited with us in 2015. Franklin has visited Fabio weekly in Belhar and together they have been working towards Fabio’s full COC activation.

Our objective is to assist Fabio in unlocking his full potential.

DREAM - ART - HEART

`

Monwabisi re-integrated in 2014 after training with SmilingOne inside Malmesbury Prison for two full years. He jumped right into building his own little business and offered ballroom dancing to the youth in Langa - all while in parolee support attending weekly TRI sessions. A fantastic learning curve for an inspired and hungry entrepreneurial mind. Throughout 2015 Monwabisi committed his full schedule to his accounting studies. He has offered manual book

keeping classes as a free service to 3 of his fellow community members and also earns an

income offering his skill.

Our objective is to continue to assist Monwabisi in his full COC Activation. He has a space in our Project House in Wynberg where he can offer the Bookkeeping classes to the community.

ENTREPRENEUR - PURPOSE - DRIVE - ACTION


MONWABISI MBETANE Bookkeeping Project

August - December 2015 we gave Malcolm an opportunity to explore his passion for cars further. We bought an old BMW 318 for the project which assisted Malcolm and Franklin in driving to all prison projects to facilitate TRI. The income generating COC activity supported Malcolm and his little family. Malcolm attended weekly TRI sessions with Franklin.

We are deeply grateful to have been a puzzle piece in Malcolm’s journey. Each moment offers such great learning. Our objective is to continue to offer Malcolm a platform for TRI Guidance and COC Education.

WELCOME DENNIS WITBOOI THE SOLACE NETWORK

It is great pleasure to witness and support the journey of

Welcome who started his TRI sessions back in Brandvlei

Maximum Prison in 2008 - he was one of our first eight. Since re-

integrating he has blessed his community with his vision of

soulful education. He is a true master in networking and weaves

many inspiring threads into a shared change approach which in

2015/16 has benefited hundreds of students in the Hout Bay

Area. We continue to support Welcome in 2016/17.

OUR PORTFOLIOS COMMUNITY, WOMEN & YOUTH SUPPORT | EDUCATION

Bukiwe has been with SmilingOne

since 2011 and is now in her 3rd year of

a Business Management Degree at the

College of Cape Town, Gugulethu

Campus. Bukiwe receives a monthly

Stipend from SmilingOne. We were

able to gift her with a laptop to attend

efficiently to her studies in 2016. In our

new project year Bukiwe is supported

with a monthly stipend and has access

to COC education.

Elsie has been active in her TRI studies throughout

2015 in weekly sessions with Franklin. In the

unlocking of her potential she discovered her

passion for people and started an educational path

towards becoming a nurse. Alongside her studies

Elsie earned an income via SmilingOne as our

cleaning angel, keeping our workshop and office

space clean. This allowed her to invest more in

herself and also to support her daughter Thembi on

her educational journey.

OUR PORTFOLIOS COMMUNITY, WOMEN & YOUTH SUPPORT | EDUCATION

Vuyiswa and Ma Esther are two incredible women from Nyanga East whom we have worked

closely with since 2010. They and the 140 children in their care have benefited from our

renovation and upgrade of the Educare Centre in 2014, continuous TRI/COC training for the staff

as well as monthly stipends. In 2015 the objective was to move towards leadership sustainability

for the Ivy Nyovane Educare Centre - all five key points in our 'Vision in Action' activated. In

monthly TRI sessions with Franklin they have fine-tuned their toolboxes and from 2016 they are

steering their own ship. What a truly special example you are Vuyiswa and Ma Esther!

WOMAN’S DAY: Celebrating 6 beautiful

women who are committed to their

Investment in the Change Agent is a

key focus in COC Education. The

moment we experience the buy-in from

the Change Agent into their full COC Activation we take it to the next level - this means an activation of funds into their

caring project in service to their community as well as funding into their entrepreneurial income generating TRI

activities for sustainable livelihood. We went from 26% allocation in the previous year to 55% this year with the

help of our treasured sponsors LRMG Performance Agency, D. Thorpe,

RUC and A. Bava. We deeply value our

longterm partnerships and their

continuous support & buy-in to our change approach.

We experience many NPOs struggling with the donor landscape in South Africa - agreed it is a challenging one. Yet in accepting the challenge we use it as

our classroom. We are inspired to

FINANCIAL

REPORT

create products within each of our projects within the next couple of years (music, productions, food, volunteer experiences) which over time can cover a large portion of our foundation’s budget. Imagine an in-house fundraising engine that ensures the continuous COC education of Change Agents - also

inside our SA prisons (where it all began).

We are inspired by best business practices recommended by Jim Collins in his best selling books: Good to Great; Great by Choice and How the Mighty

Falls - also exemplified by our sponsor LRMG Performance Agency. We

are conscious to always spin our primary flywheel. We offer COC Education and educate Change Agents - and we do it really well.

We thank Family Davids for their third year of sponsorship of our

Helderstroom Prison Process. It is one of our key focuses to strengthen our presence in further Western Cape Prisons over the next 5 years.

Another wonderful opportunity when presented with Classrooms

(challenges) is that it reveals what a Change Agent is truly made of.

Awakened to a purpose driven by a passionate and deeply committed

heart; deepening, persevering and opening doors. The Change Agent

trusts that rewards are a natural ripple effect when one moves from

core. We encourage an approach that is soulful and benefits all.

Thank you Thorp Motorgroup for always having our back!
