  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Ms. Dawn Gifford 
Engle for her service to our community.
  Eleven years ago, Dawn Gifford Engle and her husband cofounded 
PeaceJam, which coordinates educational programs to inspire young 
people to provide peaceful solutions to the root causes of violence and 
suffering in the world. So far, half a million young people from the 
United States to East Timor have created and implemented 300,000 
community projects. Dawn is committed to increase the number of young 
people inspired by PeaceJam to one billion by the year 2016.
  In 2006, the Arvada resident brought the world to Denver when the 
PeaceJam Foundation celebrated its 10th anniversary here. The Dalai 
Lama, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and other Nobel Peace Prize Laureates 
attended the program.
