Ricky Martin Visits Port-au-Prince With Habitat for Humanity
Ricky Martin traveled to Port-au-Prince with Habitat for Humanity International's CEO Jonathan Reckford to visit one of the earthquake-ravaged neighborhoods. Ricky Martin was moved by the massive devastation caused by the 7.0-magnitude earthquake that struck last week.
Ricky Martin said, "The only words I can think of to describe what I've witnessed here today are that this is a living nightmare. The images that are now in my head will be impossible to erase. Children and families impacted by this disaster will need long-term help restoring their lives, in every sense of the word. Every family is a family in need. I'm asking each of you to think about the future of the children. What they will need to survive after they are properly fed and have received appropriate medical care is a safe and decent home."
The Ricky Martin Foundation (RMF) continues its partnership with Habitat for Humanity (HFH) by creating the RMF/HFH Haiti Recovery Fund. Both organizations are encouraging supporters to visit habitat.org/rmfhaiti to donate now for immediate and long-term recovery efforts in Haiti.
