                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 5, 2020

  Ms. HERRERA BEUTLER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Ashley Lin of Vancouver, Washington, on becoming a 
distinguished finalist and top volunteer in the 2020 Prudential Spirit 
of Community Awards program.
  These annual awards were founded in 1995 to highlight individuals' 
service to our communities, and to encourage younger members of this 
nation to continue this tradition early on and throughout their lives.
  Ashley, a junior at Union High School in Southwest Washington, 
founded and runs the organization ``Project Exchange.'' This 
organization has been central in recruiting participants, designing 
curriculum, and securing funding to bring cross-cultural learning 
experiences to 250 middle and high school students from over 20 
countries. She attributes the motivation to create this program to her 
time serving as a U.S. Youth Ambassador to Uruguay.
  Once again, I want to extend my sincerest congratulations to Ashley 
on becoming a distinguished finalist in this program. I also applaud 
Ashley for bringing these opportunities to students from all over the 
world, and enhancing their educational experiences.
