Daddy Yankee shares Christmas spirit with poor children
Daddy Yankee has taken the role of Santa Claus as he visited his foundation “Daddy’s House” in the Dominican Republic this week to feed nearly 150 poor children for the holidays. The reggaeton superstar took a break from his busy lifestyle to spend quality time with the kids in barrio Tamarindo in the Caribbean island, where his foundation is based. There, he served them a special holiday menu and even set up a barbershop for free haircuts.

I think that’s the easy part,” he said of the project, reports Primera Hora. “The difficult part is everything that goes on in a daily basis. The staff, they attend to the kids and cook for them.” The Puerto Rican singer, who became a household name after his hit “Gasolina,” says his foundation is fulfilling. “This liberates my soul and fulfills it. It gives me something that the world can’t give me and it keeps me grounded,” “El Cangri” stated. “It’s a huge satisfaction to see all of the children and be a productive tool in the community.” As of now, “Daddy’s House” is in Dominican Republic, but the singer stated that he hopes to expand the project to other countries such as Haiti and Honduras.
