Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Scharmel Roussel.

In 2009, Ms. Roussel became a founding member of Arkansas Affiliate of Interfaith Power and Light which fights to protect the Earth and our environment.

In March of 2024, Roussel received the Peace Activist of the Year award from the Arkansas Coalition for Peace and Justice.

Roussel's dedication to environmentalism has earned her several grants, including such from the EPA and the USDA.

Scharmel Roussel is more than deserving of this award, and I thank her for her important work to help preserve the world's ecosystems through faith.
