 The
Foundation participates in a scholarship programs that
provides financial support to low income students, who
attend the School of Medicine at the University of Puerto
Rico. We
support Music Programs by providing instruments to
the public schools of the Department of Education.
Recently we purchased US $1 million worth of instruments
for all of Puerto Rico's music schools.
Since 1987, our President has contributed to SER de Puerto
Rico, an organization affiliated to Easter Seals, which
is dedicated to the education and rehabilitation of disabled
adults and children. The
Foundation granted SER de Puerto Rico the necessary funds
to build a Rehabilitation Center in Aibonito, a small
town in the center of the island, whose primary function
is to provide early stimulation and therapy to children
with physical disabilities and developmental retardation.
The center bears Ricky Martin's name in appreciation
for his generosity.
The
Foundation granted an initial donation to Crearte, a
local non-profit organization that serves the underprivileged
children of the San José residential projects area by offering tutoring as well as
theatre, dance, drawing, and sports lessons. San José
has a 20,000 population and one of the highest criminal
rates in Puerto Rico.
