  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend Devanshi Udeshi on 
completing a Silver Award, the highest achievement a Girl Scout Cadette 
can earn. Devanshi, an eighth grader at Sartartia Middle School in 
Sugar Land, achieved this honor through her accomplishments in 
leadership, advocacy, and dedication to improving her community.
  After watching an episode of the Dr. Oz show about childhood obesity, 
Devanshi was inspired to make a positive impact in her community. For 
Devanshi's Silver Award project, ``Brocc N' Roll,'' she hosted a 
Nutrition Awareness Workshop at the Impact Church to bring more 
awareness to the issue of obesity. During the workshop, she gave a 
presentation to the adults on the importance of healthy eating and 
exercise. For attending children, she planned competitions and games to 
show them how fun exercise can be. In addition, Devanshi has 
volunteered her time at the Creative Dreams Outreach center, educating 
children on the importance of a balanced diet.
  On behalf of all of the residents of the Twenty-Second Congressional 
District of Texas, it's an honor to recognize Devanshi's accomplishment 
and desire to make her community a better place. We are all proud of 
Devanshi Udeshi.
