Shakira, the iconic Colombian singer, recently showcased her commitment to education and philanthropy during the culmination of her El Dorado World Tour in Bogota, Colombia. But it wasn’t just about the music; it was about leaving a lasting legacy for her homeland.
Shakira visits schools at homeland
Back 2018, the day before her final tour performance, the global icon participated as an esteemed guest in the groundbreaking ceremony for two new schools—one in Cartagena and the other in her hometown of Barranquilla. These endeavors are made possible through Shakira’s Barefoot Foundation, known as “Pies Descalzos,” which currently oversees three schools dedicated to underprivileged children.
To commemorate the occasion, Shakira left her mark in a unique way. She pressed her hand and footprints into a cement cornerstone, symbolizing her unwavering commitment to providing quality education to those in need. This gesture reflects her deep connection to her roots and her desire to uplift her community.
During the ceremony, Shakira donned a stunning pink off-the-shoulder top with lace details, paired with classic blue jeans. Her radiant presence was matched by her trademark long blond curls, which danced in the breeze as she shared joyful moments with the attendees.
Shakira’s visit was not just about construction; it was about connecting with the future. She posed happily with school children, who welcomed her warmly, while hundreds of others waved and held up posters in a show of gratitude and admiration.
After an extensive tour spanning 23 countries and 54 shows, Shakira’s final performance in Bogota held a special surprise. Before taking the stage at Parque Simon Bolivar, she unveiled her new track and video for “Nada.” This exciting release was teased to her 54.2 million Instagram followers and made available online immediately following her performance.
Shakira’s commitment to education and her dedication to her Colombian roots shine brightly through these meaningful initiatives. As her music continues to inspire millions worldwide, her impact on the lives of underprivileged children in Colombia remains immeasurable—a true testament to the power of music and philanthropy.
