       RECOGNIZING FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF JOSHUA'S HEART FOUNDATION

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from 
Florida (Ms. Ros-Lehtinen) for 5 minutes.
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize an 
extraordinary young man from my congressional district, Mr. Joshua 
Williams, on the fifth anniversary of his outstanding organization 
called Joshua's Heart Foundation.
  At the age of 5, while watching ``Feed the Children'' one evening, a 
question arose in Joshua's head: What else can I do to help? In the 
weeks following, Joshua would create the basis to what has now become a 
great charity in our community.
  Today, Joshua's Heart Foundation has grown from feeding a handful of 
families to over 1,000 throughout south Florida in just a few years. 
Later this month, Madam Speaker, on April 30, from 12 to 4 p.m. at Palm 
Island Park in Miami Beach, in my congressional district, Joshua's 
Heart Foundation will be holding a celebration of its 5-year 
anniversary, and, yes, they will be feeding the hungry.
  I encourage all in south Florida to join Joshua at this amazing event 
and again congratulate him on his many years of service to our 
community, even at such a young age.
