Wish List - Bright Start 2011 to 2012

Education | FAQs | Once-Off | Volunteer | Wishlist

Although Bright Start has sponsors who assist with School fees, Bright Start needs to actively fundraise for peripheral activities and items.

Bright Start is based in Hout Bay. Its offices are run on a low cost basis, with many items being donated or funded. The team consists of one fully salaried employee (Project director), supported by two founding members and a dedicated team of volunteers.

Our wish list consists of administrative items to assist with our daily operation, as well as items for our children and funding for our cultural enrichment programme.

With the help of generous donors and supporters, we try to give our Bright Start children many of the opportunities that are available to their more privileged class mates.
