Education, the Song of Hope

this is why i like so much shakira... more than a singer she is a generious and human person .God bless you Shakira for all the things you did and thanks you for them!!!!

Mucho éxito para Shakira!! y gracias a todas las personas que forman parte de este gran proyecto en favor de los niños latinoamericanos

Creo que en Latinoamérica principalmente tenemos que generar un progreso en la educación de nuetros niños, si no lo hacemos nosotros nadie lo hará ni siquiera el propio niño porque no tiene las herramientas suficientes para desarrollar al mámixo sus capacidades, es por eso que io apoyo enormemente esta fundación que Shakira y su compañeros artistas han creado, la fundación ALAS (América Latina en Acción Solidaria) ya demás de que ya doné un kit para los niños de la fundación Pies Descalzos.

Thanks to Newsweek for giving her this opportunity to write about and highlight her foundation's mission. I am not hispanic but as a citizen of a third world country, I feel proud of everything she has achieved as I have a good idea of how difficult it can be to get out of the cycle of poverty, to beat the system you were born into. I'm very happy for Colombia and for Latin America as a whole that they have someone like her who is so passionate in her mission to help the less fortunate of her people (mi gente, as she fondly says in her concerts). She inhabits the Pop music world, but she is deep and she cares, so more power to her and to quote a British writer reviewing her concert, "she truly is the people's popstar". (or maybe people's popgoddess considering her almost mythical stature in the Latin culture, but people and goddess in the same phrase sounds like an oxymoron so I guess people's popstar is okay. :-)

It's such a relief to know that there are still people out there that care enough to do something about those stricken with poverty. Especially the children. May God bless your acts. Hopefully your acts are contagious enough that others catch the goodwill to do the same. There's really no words to describe the greatness of what you're doing. You rock.

We feel very happy for everything Shakira is doing not only for Colombia ,but for all the world.
She is an example for a lot of singers and actors that could help more people in this planet.
Bendiciones Shakira tu eres una enviada de Dios.

Es increible que alguien de mi pais (Colombia) haya llegado tan lejos y que ahora sea tan exitosa y me llena de orgullo saber que ese exito ha sido encaminado a dar ejemplo a los demas y ha sido utilizado para ayudar a la gente que no puede hablar por si misma, que alegria que Shakira este haciendo cosas tan grandiosas y que bueno que su voz sea escuchada por cientos de personas que pueden resolver el problema. gracias Shaki por ser uno de los mejores seres humanos y ojala que todos tus proyectos se hagan realidad, ahora gracias a ti millones de niños tendran oportunidades. Que viva Colombia!!!

She is an inspiration to many people! An amazing artist and an amazing human being!
