Support Puerto Rican Children

The magnificent island of Puerto Rico is a commonwealth of the United States, a popular destination for those seeking a beach vacation with a Latin twist.  But beyond the seaside hotels and exquisite landscapes is a community asking for your help – students looking to sharpen their English skills, and community buildings in need of tender loving care. Lend your hands and heart; in just one you can make a difference and form lasting bonds with the warm and lovely people of Puerto Rico.
