                         Tuesday, June 25, 2013

  Mr. CONNOLLY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the volunteers 
for Habitat for Humanity of Prince William County, Manassas and 
Manassas Park.
   Habitat for Humanity seeks to eliminate poverty housing and to make 
decent shelter a matter of conscience and action. Habitat invites 
people from all walks of life and faiths to work together in 
partnership to build and repair houses with families in need through 
their Neighborhood Revitalization Initiatives: New Construction, Home 
Rehabs, Home Repairs and the Habitat Restore. Home repairs consist of A 
Brush with Kindness, Weatherization, Critical Home Repairs and Critical 
Home Repairs for Veterans. None of their work is possible without the 
funding and time that their donors and volunteers give so generously. 
496 volunteers donated more than 8,976 hours in 2012 and twelve of 
those volunteers individually donated more than 100 hours each.
   It is my honor to enter into the Congressional Record the names of 
the volunteers for Habitat for Humanity of Prince William County, 
Manassas and Manassas Park:
   Theresa Accoo, Ryan Adkins, Einass Akari, Peter Arseneault, Lynn
