                        Wednesday, May 22, 2024

  Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Scharmel Roussel.
  In 2009, Ms. Roussel became a founding member of Arkansas Affiliate 
of Interfaith Power and Light which fights to protect the Earth and our 
environment.
  In March of 2024, Roussel received the Peace Activist of the Year 
award from the Arkansas Coalition for Peace and Justice.
  Roussel's dedication to environmentalism has earned her several 
grants, including such from the EPA and the USDA.
  Scharmel Roussel is more than deserving of this award, and I thank 
her for her important work to help preserve the world's ecosystems 
through faith.
