2007 Annual Report - Headwaters School
ANNUAL REPORT
20
07
from our board chair
2007 was a year of expanding and solidifying the foundation of the vibrant community of
The Khabele School. The Board of Directors was particularly concerned with ensuring
that Khabele remained fiscally strong following the large expansion in 2006. The Board
of Directors conscientiously tracked the school’s progress and fiscal soundness. The
Khabele School is going into 2008 with a foundation of continued excellence and fiscal
responsibility.
On behalf of the board, I am happy to report that through strong fundraising, which
included the inspiring and fun One World fundraiser in April, acquiring important grants
and the 90% participation of The Khabele School families in a parent-led matching
donation, the financial foundation of The Khabele School remains strong. We want to
thank each and every person in The Khabele School Community who participated in any
way – every contribution made a difference.
Not only did the school get through the challenges posed by the expansion, but The
Khabele School offered substantial scholarships for students for the fall 2007 semester.
The acquisition and creation of the studio in November of 2007 added new dimensions
and opportunities for the school. Students attend dance, martial arts, yoga, and music
classes there. The studio has also served as a place for art exhibits and dance workshops.
We are proud of all of these accomplishments. Sincerely,
Cathy Benouis, Board Chair
This 2007 edition of our Annual Report
is designed to thank and acknowledge
our donors, volunteers, staff, and board.
Thank you to all of you. Without
you, the Khabele School would not be
possible. Please accept our apologies
if anyone is missing from this Annual
Report. Please e-mail any corrections or
additions to Development Director
Moya Khabele at moya@khabele.org.
All acknowledgements and financial
reports are for the fiscal calendar year
of January 2007 through December
2007. Thank you to Cate Tschumy
for annual report editing, and to
the KhabeleYearbook Staff for the
photography.
As a community, we have had an exciting, significant and successful year. The most notable aspect of the past year is that we effectively went
through a large expansion of the physical space and community. Going through this process while providing scholarships and maintaining fiscal
responsibility was not a small feat. There were times when it was tempting to become overwhelmed by the minutia of our daily work and get sidetracked by merely trying to make it to the end of the year. As is the case when any organization that goes through substantial change, our mission
and vision were tested and even reevaluated.
Standing on the other side of this change affords us a more objective viewpoint. It allows us to get present to what all the work was for. It is
though this objectivity that we can remind ourselves of our true purpose.
As a community, we share an aspiration to make the mission of the school available to as many people as possible. This mission is to cultivate
learning communities in which every person realizes their profound beauty, falls in love with learning and lives with courage and authenticity. As
powerful as this intention is, it is made possible only through each person contributing something valuable. Whether you have contributed your
time, your insight, your expertise, or your money, we want to acknowledge that it has made a real
difference in the lives of the young people in our community. As you consider your contribution
for the future, we invite you to keep the mission of the school in mind.
Please enjoy this year’s Annual Report. We are thanking over 200 donors, over 70 volunteers, and
almost 30 staff and board members. Their dedication, hard work, and generosity have made the
fulfillment of our unique mission possible for our 150 students. We appreciate your support and
we invite you to share this Annual Report with friends, family, and colleagues. As the school has
grown, so should our network of supporters. Thank you.
With appreciation,
Khotso Khabele, Director
our mission
To cultivate learning
communities in which each
and every student, parent,
and staff member realizes
their profound beauty,
falls in love with learning,
and lives with courage and
authenticity
Our vision is that very
person throughout the world
has access to an inspiring,
enlivening, and open
learning community. School
is regarded as a profound
opportunity for
self-discovery and selfmastery. Schools are
community centers, in
which people of all ages
evolve in their relationship
to themselves, each other,
and the world.
