Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize an extraordinary young man from my congressional district, Mr. Joshua Williams, on the fifth anniversary of his outstanding organization called Joshua's Heart Foundation. At the age of 5, while watching ``Feed the Children'' one evening, a question arose in Joshua's head: What else can I do to help? In the weeks following, Joshua would create the basis to what has now become a great charity in our community. Today, Joshua's Heart Foundation has grown from feeding a handful of families to over 1,000 throughout south Florida in just a few years. Later this month, Madam Speaker, on April 30, from 12 to 4 p.m. at Palm Island Park in Miami Beach, in my congressional district, Joshua's Heart Foundation will be holding a celebration of its 5-year anniversary, and, yes, they will be feeding the hungry. I encourage all in south Florida to join Joshua at this amazing event and again congratulate him on his many years of service to our community, even at such a young age. ____________________
