Ricky Martin Launches Katrina Children Relief Fund
Ricky Martin posted a message to fans at his fan club RickyMartinMusic.com in relation to Hurricane Katrina. Martin writes, “To witness thousands of nameless persons in despair is overwhelming. Mother Nature’s power makes us feel helpless, at first. But it also reminds us that in times of hardships, unity amongst nationalities is the means, the vehicle to give hope. Perhaps, I seem like an idealist to many but I believe in alliances. On August 29, Katrina’s rage left thousands homeless, killed hundreds, and displaced countless children. As I watched the images, I relived the devastation in Asia after the tsunami. Undoubtedly, in every natural disaster children are always the most vulnerable survivors. To deny them help is unacceptable. Organizing the agenda to visit Houston was strenuous, yet possible. We made it happen. Now it’s time to lend a hand, to the little ones.”
