                      REMEMBERING DANIELLE DUNLAP

 Mr. ISAKSON. Mr. President, I wish to honor in the Record Miss 
Danielle Dunlap of Atlanta, GA. A few weeks ago, I was very saddened to 
learn of the passing of this 25-year-old Peace Corps volunteer, who was 
known as ``Dani'' by her overseas community. Danielle was stationed in 
Ghana when her life was cut tragically short by illness. Like so many 
of our Peace Corps volunteers, she was a role model who dedicated her 
life to serving others. During her time in Ghana, Danielle touched the 
lives of individuals and families in Ghana by working with them to 
improve their lives in the areas of nutrition, HIV/AIDS, malaria, and 
sanitation. Her colleagues in Ghana said that she was proud of her role 
as a volunteer trainer, helping to mentor newly arriving volunteers in 
the projects to which she was so devoted.
  Born in Germany, Danielle's love for all things international began 
long before her days as a Peace Corps volunteer. She studied abroad in 
South Korea and Haiti, where she learned Korean and Spanish.
  Danielle was clearly a bright and gifted individual. She graduated 
from Brown University in 2010 with a bachelor's degree in neuroscience. 
She tutored young students at the Academy at Harvard Square in 
Cambridge, MA, and she was a swim instructor for students with asthma.
  Danielle Dunlap was a model of service and character, and it is 
Americans such as her who make this country great. The Nation mourns 
the loss of an incredible individual at such a young age, and my heart 
and my prayers go out to Danielle's family and friends.
