                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 17, 2016

  Mr. GOSAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Taipei 
Chinese Culture Summer Camp on its 20th anniversary.
   The Taipei Chinese Culture Summer Camp, held in Phoenix, has been 
recognized for its outstanding performance time and time again. It was 
designated as an official Arizona Centennial Event, it has been 
recognized here in Congress, and it is a recipient of the Phoenix 
Mayor's Partnership Award.
   Phoenix, Arizona and Taipei, Taiwan have enjoyed a Sister Cities 
Relationship for 37 years. The industrious people of Taipei share many 
things in common with Arizonans, including a strong work ethic, a 
peaceful nature, a love of nature and beauty, and amazing architecture.
   The camp will take place June 13-17, 2016 and is open to students 
from all schools. This camp will promote Taiwanese and Chinese Culture, 
Folk Arts and Sports. In addition, it will educate our youth regarding 
the importance of cultural awareness and show the many similarities 
between our two cultures. The camp will also let children learn 
leadership and teamwork skills while also teaching an understanding of 
international issues and friendship among our nations. Perhaps most 
importantly for the children, it will be fun.
   We recognize these achievements and encourage them to grow in the 
future. Again, it is my pleasure to congratulate the Taipei Chinese 
Summer Camp on its 20th anniversary.
