“Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize a nonprofit organization in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, that is celebrating its 20th year of service helping immigrants settle in the United States. Welcoming the Stranger, based in Langhorne, was founded in 1999 by the late Reverend Sturgis Poorman. Welcoming the Stranger has provided countless opportunities for immigrants in southeastern Pennsylvania from over 100 countries. Welcoming the Stranger offers English language classes and courses in citizenship preparation and computer science. Their programs have been so popular that they often expand to 300 attendees, packing houses of worship and community centers across Bucks County.
