Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Success for Kids, a wonderful organization working in my congressional district to help improve the lives of children and adolescents. Success for Kids is dedicated to empowering at-risk children by focusing on the improvement of four personal strategies: interpersonal skills, emotional intelligence, problem-solving skills, and improved self-sufficiency. In addition to its great work in south Florida, Success for Kids operates in eight countries and has proven to be effective in some of the most challenging areas in the world. Our children must be provided with every possible opportunity to achieve success, and this program is certainly making a positive difference in their lives. I especially applaud our local executive director, Yossef Sagi, and all the wonderful staff at Success for Kids for their valiant efforts in improving the lives of our children. ____________________
