                           DR. ANIMESH SINHA

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I am grateful to 
congratulate the 2011 U.N. International Volunteer Award recipient, Dr. 
Animesh Sinha, who is a native of Irmo, South Carolina. Dr. Sinha is a 
general practitioner in Fiji, where he is the founder and medical 
director of the PRISM Health Initiative. PRISM provides medical care 
and access to the most underserved populations of Fiji.
  By providing its own tables, chairs, water gallons, medical 
equipment, and free medication, PRISM makes a difference. Due to Dr. 
Sinha's leadership, 200 to 400 patients per week are being treated in 
the most remote communities of Fiji.
  Congratulations also to my lifelong friends, his parents, Dr. Kausal 
Sinha and his wife, Arunima, who are revered community leaders of the 
Midstate of South Carolina. Indian Americans are making a difference 
around the globe, encouraged by the American Association of Physicians 
of Indian Origin.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
