  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Kids Alive, an 
organization that is working around the world to improve the lives of 
children.
  America is the most generous nation in human history. When tragedy 
strikes and innocent people are suffering, Americans respond. Kids 
Alive is an organization that exemplifies that great American tradition 
by supporting girls and boys who are orphaned or struggling just to 
survive extreme poverty. For nearly 100 years, Kids Alive has helped 
thousands of children with their housing and medical needs, along with 
providing food, clothing and education assistance. Children from all 
over the

world have seen their lives improve thanks to this faith-based 
organization.
  I am proud that this organization, based in Indiana, has received so 
much support from the 6th Congressional District. Churches and 
individuals from across the district have stepped up to help children 
in the most desperate situations. By donating their time and resources, 
these Hoosiers have helped give countless kids a better future.
  I ask the entire 6th Congressional district to join me in recognizing 
the important work of Kids Alive and all those who contributed to their 
success.
