                      Wednesday, November 16, 2016

  Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
exceptional work of National Voices for Equality, Education and 
Enlightenment (NVEEE) in combatting bullying and instilling the values 
of acceptance and love in the students of our South Florida community.
  Since 2009, NVEEE has worked tirelessly to prevent bullying, violence 
and suicide as well as create a safe space for students and adults to 
seek counseling and support. Led by Jowharah Sanders, a fierce advocate 
for today's youth, NVEEE has educated thousands of children through 
engaging workshops, mentorships and direct service. I applaud their 
efforts in addressing the root causes of bullying and the challenges 
children face as they mature.
  As a mother and a Member of the Congressional Anti-Bullying Caucus, 
it is with great honor that I recognize National Voices for Equality, 
Education and Enlightenment.
