  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize our Texas-24 
Hometown Hero, Akshat Athale, who is not only a student at Coppell High 
School, but also the founder of Saksham, a non-profit organization that 
works to improve financial literacy among underserved youth 
communities. Saksham has worked with underserved and neurodivergent 
communities. on both the local and global scale, to Provide them with 
workshops on a variety of financial literacy topics.
  These workshops provide life-changing skills to communities in need 
and will have a lasting benefit. I was glad to have Akshat as a member 
of my Congressional Youth Advisory Council and I congratulate him on 
recently receiving the Congressional Award. Our North Texas community 
is made better by people like Akshat, who are dedicated to making a 
positive impact.
