Ricky Martin Raising Money for Kids in Germany

Ricky Martin said on Thursday that he plans to join forces with with a German broadcaster to support his foundation and build a children’s youth center in his native Puerto Rico.

Martin says he’s going to join RTL on a telethon to raise funds to build the center in Loiza, near the capital, San Juan.

“The idea is to build a center, a safe haven for children that are at risk of exploitation, which is the main mission of my foundation.”

The RTL telethon Thursday and Friday is also raising money for other international and German children’s charities.

Rock on, Rickey.
