Little League baseball is coming home to hurricane-weary communities in Puerto Rico.
Recently, music icon Marc Anthony and Chicago Cubs All-Star infielder Javier Báez, joined local officials and families to celebrate restored ball fields at Parque de la Comunidad La Ceiba in Loíza, which were demolished by hurricanes that devastated much of the island in 2017. This is the first project completed under a new initiative called Play Ball Again, which aims to restore up to 25 athletic fields and related facilities that will serve 17,500 youth across the island.
“This is a celebration of resilience, just as much as it is of baseball,” said Marc Anthony, as he met community members and cheered the first pitch. “In rebuilding these fields, we can help families take another step beyond the trauma of the last two years toward a stronger, healthier future for our children and their families.”

Unicef UK Ambassador Emma Bunton recently swapped her microphone for an exercise book as she went back to school to celebrate World Children’s Day 2019.
Emma left the George Spicer Primary School feeling inspired, after spending the day learning from children of all ages about the importance of children’s rights, on what is now a significant day of change for children around the world.
