                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, October 2, 2013

  Mr. WAXMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a nonprofit 
organization in California's 33rd Congressional District, StayUNITED, 
and its founders, Mark and Ismini Svensson.
  StayUNITED has created a number of initiatives to improve lives in 
the United States and throughout the world. The organization has 
recently launched an initiative entitled `50 Acts of Giving Back' to 
promote voluntarism and demonstrate how social media can be used to 
transform the way acts of social good can be communicated and 
replicated across the globe. Mr. and Ms. Svensson are traveling to all 
50 states and performing 50 acts of kindness to encourage an online 
community to inspire others across state, national, and international 
lines to help make the world a better place.
  I ask that my colleagues join me in recognizing the vision of Mark 
and Ismini Svensson and their commitment to charitable giving.
