THE FOUNDATION
The I Can Foundation was establish and notarized on July 17th, 1996, by the notary office of Elco Rosario. The board consists of seven members who represent a cross section of the community. Their commitment to the foundation was initialized from their work. The members have a wide variety of experience; the police, schools, hospitality sector, insurance company, and accountants. The foundation established a foster home in 1996 where children were placed from The Court of Guardianship. Our first residents came in 1998 and since then we have given shelter to over 30 or more children. We have also had the opportunity to provide shelter for children from the neighboring Islands.
