More than three months after a massive earthquake devastated Haiti, Shakira visited the island to make good on her pledge to build a school for the island nation's children. Looking for a suitable site for the school for needy children to be built by her Pies Descalzos (Barefoot) Foundation in the capital of Port-au-Prince, The Associated Press reported that Shakira touched down on a golf course that has become a makeshift camp for more than 50,000 homeless quake survivors. In addition to greeting fans and infants living at the Petionville Golf Club, Shakira met with actor Sean Penn, who has been working on disaster relief on the island since the quake struck on January 12. I really love her more for doing that.
Shakira took part in MTV's Hope for Haiti Now telethon in January
met with 100 children at the site of her Barefoot Haiti school, an offshoot of her foundation's efforts in Colombia, where the organization provides nutrition, education and psychological support to more than 6,000 children displaced by violence.
