Baseball player Pedro Martinez, his wife Carolina Cruz, the US Embassy in Santo Domingo and USAID have launched a project "Hay Poder en Aprender" (There is Power in Learning) in Martinez's neighborhood of Manoguayabo on the outskirts of Santo Domingo. This project aims to help 200 young people at risk. Through a combination of vocational training and educational programs, it seeks to help participants recover their self-esteem and dignity, discover their potential talents, and become productive citizens for their community and country. USAID, through Esperanza International and its Major League Baseball-Dominican Development Alliance (MLB-DDA), has committed $100,000 for a one-year period.
