The current state of the community
The current state of the community is that the community is yet to allocate some land for the construction of a plating ground for its youth and the children. However, some of the young people are already playing games such as basketball and hockey within their parent's home backyards. The community members have already shown interest in visiting each other during distress calls such as during the loss of a loved one. The youth is slowly learning about their differences, and they are embracing the power of diversity in their interactions.
Indicators of success
The indicators of success will be the attendance of the community members in the monthly meetings and the number of youth who engage in the games. Another indicator of success will be the participation of members in the bi-annual evaluation of the initiative through the filling of the questionnaires. The more that the members of the community will get involved in the community events, the greater the success will be for the community. Another indicator of the success is the response of the community members in answering a distress call of any of the members. How supportive the members are will be reflected in distress times such as funerals of members, visiting a sick member and any other distress signal such as a burglary or a fire within the community. These successes will be measured in the number of youth who engage in sports, the number of members who turn out for the monthly visit of member's homes, the number of members who respond to fellow member's distress call and so on. The number will provide a proportion of the total population that is responsive to the welfare of fellow members.
Evaluation of the initiative
The initiative will need to be evaluated at least twice per year to check whether it is still on the course and whether it is achieving its intended goals and objectives. The evaluation will be done by giving all the members of the community questionnaires in order to obtain feedback on whether the initiative has borne fruits, and any challenges therein and any future challenges that may be expected. The members' participation in filling in the questionnaires will be a vital part in obtaining the required feedback as all the information and recommendations given will be anonymous to the extent that no one will know the other person's evaluation. The feedback that the committee will obtain will be a stepping stone in enabling the community to address its issues without pointing an accusing finger at anyone. It will also allow the members of the society to get in terms of the progress of the initiative. The evaluation will provide a sense of direction to the community, allowing its member's to provide solutions to its problems. The community will be able to tackle problems before they get out of hand. The outcome.

Recomendation for Michael Estrada
- 1. May 21, 2015 To Whom It May Concern: I have known Michael for several months through his involvement in Young Life. Young Life is a world-wide, non-profit organization that seeks to provide teenagers with opportunities for adventure and meaningful relationships with peers and adults, while learning about the Christian faith. It has been a pleasure to get to know Michael and hear about his many endeavors with computers. I have been impressed with his ability to explain computer science to me in a fashion in which I can understand. In our conversations I have seen great potential in him for success in the technology field as his interest and love for the field is evident as he talks about reading computer science text books in his free time and doing research outside of classes to understand this interest. He has also shown great potential for leadership amongst his friends in the time I have known him. Michael has shown a level of commitment to that which he enjoys and wants to be involved in as he has been to every Young Life club since his initial introduction and, as mentioned previously, actively seeks out more understanding and education in the computer science field. Sincerely, Eli Bickley Team Leader Saratoga Springs Young Life 518-227-5605 eli.bickley@gmail.com
