Shakira The Great

Filed under: Shakira

It's always nice to see celebs using their name and - even money - for good.

Global superstar Shakira was in her hometown of Barranquilla, Colombia, on Tuesday, attending a press conference at a new school she funded.

Her organization, The Barefoot Foundation, has just added a fifth school.

The new facility will be able to serve over 1,500 students!

The school is located in one of the poorest communities and will set its focus on bilingual and art education.

The good humanitarian said, “This institution is a reflection of what we want to propose. Therefore I believe that society should ask its government to invest in education. A big part of why I am here is to draw attention to the issue of education.”

Keep on keeping on Shaki!

      Why don't you give up the food you eat in a week Doughboy that should be enough to feed the school for the month.

      She's not good looking anymore. Her face used to be really cute but now she got older and old age has made her a little ugly. That's what happens when you decide to get old. See? It's all her own fault.

      Herbivores such as rabbits and rodents eat their own poop because their diet of plants is hard to digest efficiently, and they have to make two passes at it to get everything out of the meal. This is equivalent to a cow chewing its cud, only cows are able to re-eat their food without having to poop it out first.

      Re: SheHasBigBoobs – Ok who the hell decides to get old. That's nature. You can take care of yourself all you want but regardless of the fact is, that the face you have in your 20's will not be the same face you have in your 50's and so forth….
