             CELEBRATING 125 YEARS OF THE JENKINS INSTITUTE

 Mr. SCOTT. Mr. President, I would like to honor and 
congratulate the Daniel Joseph Jenkins Institute for Children in North 
Charleston on their 125th anniversary.
  In 1891, the Jenkins Institute was founded as Jenkins Orphanage. In 
1892, the institute was chartered by the State of South Carolina with 
the mission of providing a loving and secure home to many children, 
specifically orphans, in the community.
  The Jenkins Institute is an example of an organization that remains 
committed to the well-being of our community. For 125 years, they have 
opened their door to orphan children, regardless of their race or 
socioeconomic backgrounds.
  Today the institute continues to welcome those in need of a safe 
place to call home. They have shown tremendous faith through works of 
charity, and their honorable legacy will forever be appreciated. I 
acknowledge with pleasure the Jenkins Institute's influence in North 
Charleston and therefore recognize their service, dedication, and 125 
years rooted in love and faith. Because of places like the Daniel 
Joseph Jenkins Institute, our children will have a brighter future 
ahead of them.
