                         Tuesday, June 2, 2015

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Eric Li for 
being named one of ten national honorees for the 2015 Prudential Spirit 
of Community Awards.
  Eric's dedication to community service started at a young age when he 
spearheaded a school-wide relief effort following a deadly earthquake 
in Sichuan, China. He and his sisters also founded a nonprofit 
organization called We Care Act. The organization helps children around 
the world recover from major natural disasters. Currently, he is 
teaching his peers at Pearland Junior High West to refurbish computers 
that will be sent to orphanages in third world countries.
  At such a young age, Eric has already impacted so many children 
around the world. On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional 
District, thank you for your commitment to philanthropy and 
congratulations on this remarkable achievement.
