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.
