Ricky Martin tours battered Thai island

Jan. 13, 2005 | Phuket, Thailand -- Pop star Ricky Martin toured Thailand's tsunami-battered Phuket island, visiting with survivors and joining relief agencies in warning that orphans could fall prey to child traffickers.

"I am here to learn and came here to see in which way, shape or form I am going to be able to literally help," Martin said Thursday. "I came here to talk with the victims. It's all about the most vulnerable ones, in this case, the kids of Phuket."

I heard Michael Jackson said the same thing.

Seriously, you have to respect someone that not only spends their money but their time to help in these situations. :good job:

I must still be sleepy. I read the title as "Ricky Martin tours battered Thai island" and thought F'ing tours.
