"December 7, 2009 - Shakira spoke about the work of her charity, Barefoot Foundation, at Oxford University's world-famous Oxford Union.
The Oxford Union is a debating, educational, and social society, membership of which is open to all matriculated members of Oxford University (and many other notable educational establishments). Over the years countless actors, writers, film stars, musicians, celebrities and politicians have spoken there. These past guests of The Oxford Union include the Dalai Lama, Winston Churchill, Mother Teresa, Presidents Nixon, Carter and Reagan, Stephen Hawking, Richard Dawkins, Michael Jackson, Jon Bon Jovi and Albert Einstein to name just a few."
She is just something else. God bless her forever for all she does...employing her talent and charisma and name for the good of all. What EVERY celebrity should do. What we ALL should do.
however, the willfully ignorant don't want to hear the truth, and the corporations who control the education system will protect us from the truth.
I agree that education will expand the peace and help stimulate the economy. I appreciate her investment in children by building and funding new schools.
