SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 122
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize Brittany Harris, whose selfless efforts have facilitated
the purchase of four water wells in Africa; and
WHEREAS, Brittany is a fifth grader from Friendswood who
exhibits a humanitarian spirit beyond her years; the Windsong
Intermediate School student has spent the past three holiday
seasons baking cakes, pies, and other items for a fund-raiser
she envisioned after learning of clean-water shortages in
other countries; and
WHEREAS, Her brainchild, "Brittany's Dream," has become an
outstanding annual project involving her friends, family, and
teachers; the yearly proceeds have twice exceeded the $2,600
necessary to finance a traditional well, which produces 600
gallons daily and provides safe water supplies for an entire
village in Africa; and
WHEREAS, Originally inspired by a concert and a lesson about
Martin Luther King, Jr., this generous fifth grader has devoted her
holiday seasons to giving, rather than receiving; the laudable
success of her last fund-raiser resulted in the purchase of two
wells in one year; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd
Legislature, hereby commend Brittany Harris for her tireless
efforts in securing clean water supplies for struggling
communities; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
her as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate.
