In April 2002, in response to the new york government's policy of "returning students to school", Ricky Martin personally became the principal of a high school in the Bronx, new york. When he entered the campus, all the students in the classrooms on the fourth floor were crazy about it. The quick-witted students were lucky enough to get Ricky Martin's signature, kiss and hug, which attracted more screams. After that, Ricky Martin did lecture the students like the headmaster at the flag-raising ceremony, but he didn't understand some regulations of the school and made several mistakes, which made the students laugh, but it didn't hurt the charm of Ricky Martin.

In March 2008, Ricky Martin participated in the "Boycott of Child Trafficking" activity in Cambodia. At the scene of the activity, Ricky Martin was holding the child of a 22-year-old woman, who was sold to a brothel by her father and whose mother was infected with AIDS. The woman was so emotional when she saw Ricky Martin that she even cried and begged Ricky Martin to continue to "resist child trafficking". Ricky Martin also said categorically: "I will definitely promote this activity. You are all my heroes. " After learning the news of global child trafficking in Vienna in February 2008, he decided to take part in this activity in person.
