Came about in the tear 1999, with only one objective in mind, which was to contribute to the physical and mental well being of our children, without racial, sexual,or religious discrimination. Since then, we have worked with over two thaousand kids. We are proud to say that some of our kids got the chance to pursue their dreams, and attend college with the help from scholarships that were given to them across their talents and well-developed skills and others have achieved of getting to the major leagues.
Most of the kids participating in our league today are young students who are preparing themselves, and are on their way to achieving greatness in the career of their choice. We feel proud of what we have achieved throughout all these years, although we have had to battle though many financially based difficulties.
We never had back-up money, and in some cases we even had to sacrifice our own money for the well being of the league. Nevertheless, we will keep on working hard, because we fell it is our duty ( as members of the community) to remove as many kids as possible from street life, and try to make them better people. The way we see it is that if we succeedd in making our children better people then we are already creating a better society, because they are our future.
That is one of our goals, and we will lean most of our focus towwards making it happen. Caribe Baseball Little League Sport is the biggest little league organization in the Bronx. In 1999, we were working with 41 teams, each of them consisting of 15 players ranging from the ages of four to eighteen. The following year we dealt with 37 teams, and then on 2001 we worked with 38 teams, 36 teams on 2002, 35 teams on 2003, 45 teams on 2004, 43 teams on 2005, and 40 teams in 2006. We estimate that we will work with 45 teams on 2007 In the mentined period of time, we have won two state championships in the International Cal Ripken Tournament for the 7 and 8 year olds division.
We have also won two championships for 11 and 12 year olds category, in the same organization. Our most desired dream is to keep on working with the children, but soon enough we wont be able to without any financial help. We work with a high porcentage of single mothers, and with families with a low economic status.
We know that education must come first, but we believe that our job will help these kids grow up to be hard working people in our society. We try to offer them the best protection and security possible. If those who are able to help us will make an effort to do so, then you can be sure that Caribe Baseball Little League will keep on doing its job as enthusiastically as they are doing it now, but with the reassurance that the organization will become much better.
