Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate one of my constituents, Easton's own Okezue Bell. A Moravian Academy graduate, Okezue is making a mark not just on Pennsylvania's Seventh District, my district, but on our entire country and our world. Okezue created ``WeArm,'' a prosthetic limb for below-the-elbow amputees that has reached more than 4,000 people. He founded an award- winning app called Fidutam that offers microloans to unbanked, low- infrastructure communities. He was a United Nations youth delegate for climate justice, environmental sustainability, and education, working on educational initiatives for underprivileged students across the globe. He somehow still has the time to be a standout violinist and tennis championship winner. I was honored to celebrate his graduation with him this past weekend, and I cannot wait to see what he does next because his intelligence, curiosity, and dedication to making the world a better place represent the best that this country has to offer. ____________________
