The project, which is supported by Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID), aims to strike political and social change in Latin America and the Caribbean. Besides helping to form peace in Latin American nations, the program is also dedicated to eliminating poverty.
Threesome like this should happen more often.

Last week Ricky Martin was caught naked in India and now he is spreading baby love in Cambodia. The Puerto Rican pop icon continues working on his humanitarian projects and was spotted visiting a couple of organizations dedicated to fighting child trafficking and sexual exploitation.
While stopping by at one of the rescue shelters for young victims he mentioned to a women,
“I’m not going to stop. All of you are my heroes. You are a gift of my life.”
Ricky will continue his community outreach efforts in Latin America. His dedication to stopping human trafficking is admirable, but hopefully it doesn’t result in him adopting a class room of Cambodian children!

An extremely lucky Indian man named, Krishi Dutt recently bumped into Ricky Martin balls-out nude in the sauna of the Grand Oberoi Hotel.
The man reported to the DNA publication,
“I was in the health club on Tuesday evening, when I saw this guy who looked so much like Ricky proceeding towards the sauna. I was not sure if it was him because he had a mustache and a beard. When I asked him if he was Ricky Martin, he smiled and said, ‘you have the wrong person’. I noticed that he had a huge tattoo on his left arm and another one in the lower pelvic region. He had henna on his feet and a beaded anklet on his right ankle. He was extremely congenial. After about 30 minutes in the sauna, he wrapped himself in a towel and went out of the room.”
As if one encounter was not enough, Dutt ended up bumping into him a second time. The pop star was trying to find the keys to his locker room and smiled at Dutt.
He continues,
“Finally, he found them and said with a sheepish smile, ‘my mum always complains about my absentmindedness’. After he dressed and left, I was sure that it was Ricky and that he wanted to hide his identity. So I ran to him and asked for an autograph. He obliged and was extremely humble and friendly.”
I am sure this man was filled with joy! Not everyone experiences a flirty smile from Ricky in their lifetime!
I guess I need to hit up the sauna more often!
