To Whom It May Concern:

As former Education Coordinator for Teen Challenge Farm, a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center and presently working with the homeless, I am very much aware of the desperate situation of our youth. Each year hundreds of our youth find themselves on the streets or in some area shelter because of family breakdown, which in turn leads to possible drug or alcohol use or other deadly addictions. This has lead to a high percentage of high school dropouts. The government spends billions of dollars a year to give a band-aid solution to the ongoing war against drugs and youth on the streets. Is there an answer? I believe one of the answers is found in a positive message that brings hope to a generation without hope. The “Absolute Team” under the leadership of Vaden and Christal Earl is an outstanding approach in helping shape the will of our generation of youth without breaking their spirit. I would highly recommend the “Absolute Team” to be apart of any future assembly your high school has to offer.

Sincerely yours
