  Mr. TOWNS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the work and 
achievements of Darnell P. Smith. Darnell began to demonstrate his 
leadership abilities at a very young age. While attending Brooklyn 
Technical High School, he was named President of the 81st Precinct 
Youth Council. Darnell went on to attend Hampton University, where he 
earned the admiration and respect of his peers by founding the African 
Studies Cluster of Hampton University, and serving as Vice President of 
the Student Government Association.

  Darnell Smith continued to serve his community as a probation officer 
and the founder of WeCare2Cure Inc. He still works with WeCare2Cure 
Inc, where he is committed to providing education, employment and 
affordable healthcare opportunities throughout the community of 
Brooklyn.
  Madam Speaker, I would like to recognize the selfless efforts of 
Darnell P. Smith, who continues to work to improve the lives of the 
residents of Brooklyn.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in paying tribute to 
Darnell P. Smith.
