The artist, who along with entrepreneur Henry Cardenas, has a foundation to help such children throughout Latin America and improve their lives called Maestro Cares, began the building of the much needed housing for the children of this orphanage last year. During this visit he was able to appreciate the progress made on the houses (see right) and after spending the day with the children we can say that both the artist and the children were left feeling both blessed and excited of what is to come.
