The Maestro Cares Foundation, founded by Puerto Rican singer Marc Anthony and Colombian-born US businessman Henry Cardenas, has announced a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the start of construction of a new residence hall and school for more than 150 orphaned children on Friday, November 23 at 11am at the new location for Orfanato Ninos de Cristo, at Camino a la Luisa in La Romana. Both Anthony and Cardenas are scheduled to be in attendance.
The new home will include a kitchen, laundry room, cafeteria, library, chapel, classrooms, dorm rooms, a teachers’ lounge, workshop area, business center, and a baseball field. The Central Romana Corporation donated the land, which measures 10,000 square yards.
Founded in January 2012, Maestro Cares was established to assist in the development of orphanages throughout Latin America. By providing basic needs such as food, school supplies, dorm rooms, classrooms, clinics and other essential development programs, Maestro Cares seeks to provide children with healthy environments for learning while instilling a culture that includes a strong work ethic, confidence and discipline.
