Puerto Rican pop star Ricky Martin will be showing footage of his trip to Thailand on the Oprah Winfrey Show Monday (January 24). Martin recently returned from his fact-finding trip of the regions devastated by the recent tsunami in Southeast Asia. He said, "The destructive effects caused by this natural phenomenon are indescribable and the consequences for the future are difficult to predict.

Martin went on the trip to determine how The Ricky Martin Foundation could best help in the relief effort, particularly in the area of protecting children from being exploited by child traffickers. He said, "The vulnerability of these children call us to give them a hand of hope and love. For this reason, I invite you to watch the...show and relive my trip to Thailand as it was captured on film. I invite you to learn in detail the plans of the Ricky Martin Foundation - in coordination with the Thai government - to assist the tsunami victims."
