Mr. Speaker. I rise to honor Mano a Mano on its 15year anniversary in Round Lake Park and to recognize the staff and volunteers who support this incredible organization. In 2000. community leaders saw a rise in the Latino immigrant population. as well as the struggles they face due to language barriers and a lack of higher education. Mr. Speaker. these leaders took it upon themselves to help the growing community through support and education. They opened the doors of Mano a Mano and began providing services such as community school for parents. kindergarten readiness. citizenship preparation. employment connection. and health education.
