Contribute To Society or Contribution To Society or Contributing To Society means -

(i)         each Abled, Disabled and Disadvantaged truthfully 'paying his/her own rent in life to the best of their means and abilities'; and

(ii)        each Abled, who has the wherewithal, assisting those 'Less Fortunate', in particular Disabled and Disadvantaged, provided following receiving such assistance the 'Less Fortunate' recipients increase their Contribution To Society.

 

Section 16.(c) provides the following templates for the YELP  SPV to similarly assist the Disabled and Disadvantaged to improve their QOL and Contribution To Society.

 

Abled Participant Assistant's Contribution To Society, from (ii) above, would be measured by Return On YELP Capex Software which feeds into the Base Case Financial Model with exceptional contributions recognised at the Annual YELP Presentation Awards Dinner. 

 

 

Equally important, improvements in the following yardsticks in those Disabled and Disadvantaged who receive explicit assistance, from (ii) above, would also be quantified through metrics:

1. Personal Health And Fitness

2. QOL and Self-esteem,

3. Health Care Costs

4. Changed Social Values

5. Materially Altered Lifestyle

6. Positive Lifestyle Changes

Sceptics may opine that it is impossible to delineate 'Tangible' from 'Intangible' assistance and responses to such assistance.  However, not so.  Patently it is reliant upon the robustness of the assumptions of the modellers and the integrity of the data input.  However, presently Governments expend millions on some Preventive Health programmes with scant regard for measuring the ROE injected.  Generally all we receive is 'spin' to justify major fiscal expenditure. 

If the results/effects of effort are not measured, there is no way of knowing whether such fiscal expenditure has been worthwhile.

If the results/effects of extraordinary effort are not recognised and rewarded, Preventive Health programmes are not maximising their scope and opportunities.  Hence, extraordinary Contributions To Society would constitute an Exceptional Community Contribution and be recognised at the Annual Presentation Awards Dinner.

The afore-mentioned Contributions To Society would also be profiled in follow-up RTV productions, because if good news stories are measured, they should be profiled to encourage more good news stories.
