San Juan, Puerto Rico



Hospital Work

We provide laughter therapy and musical performances in hospital wards housing child and infant patients. These children and their families are under stress and in some cases in pain, they need a word of comfort, a song, a laugh, to warm their hearts and put their minds at ease.

Girl’s Orphanage and Home for Abandoned Children

One of the institutions that we work with is a home for girls who have been orphaned. We assist through interactive character development projects that among other things aid in building self-esteem.

Aid to Home for the Elderly

There is a lack of awareness in some communities when it comes to the Puerto Rican citizens of mature age and their treatment. Many of the mature residents in the homes of the elderly that we have worked with have not received a visit from loved ones in years. Some privately run homes are in top condition, while other public homes are barely scraping by.

Dominican Republic

The objective of our work in the Dominican Republic is to visit areas where families live in extreme poverty, lacking health care, dental care, potable water, paved roads, clothing and shoes for their children.

Puerto Rico Outreach Activities

Hospital De Ninos is a permanent residence for the extremely mentally and physically challenged. Nurses do take care of the patients but not very many people are able to spend time with them. So among our various outreach, we visit these kids to spend time with them, singing for them, making balloons, and offering them the encouragement they need.
