Shakira recently made time in her packed schedule to participate in the groundbreaking events for two new schools in Cartagena and Barranquilla, Colombia, as part of her El Dorado World Tour. These schools are being supported by the Barefoot Foundation (Pies Descalzos), a charitable organization founded by Shakira that currently runs three schools for underprivileged children, in collaboration with the Barca Foundation.
Shakira, the well-known Colombian singer, was the star attraction at the inauguration of two schools in her home country, which will be supported by her Barefoot Foundation. At the event, the 41-year-old artist joyfully left her hand and footprints in wet cement to mark the special occasion. With her flowing blonde locks swaying, Shakira couldn’t contain her laughter as she dipped her foot into the chilly cement. Clad in a fashionable pink blouse with delicate lace accents and blue jeans, the Deja Vu singer looked absolutely gorgeous. She happily took photos with the students present, who warmly welcomed her, while a large crowd waved and held up signs in her honor.
Leaving her imprint: Sporting a smile, the 41-year-old joyfully stepped her foot into the cold plaster at the building site of the new school in Barranquilla, the place where she grew up.
Having a blast: A man kindly assisted the vocalist as she raised her foot while singing. Shakira’s world tour began in Hamburg, Germany on June 3, and she has taken the stage in 54 shows across 23 different countries to date. But the last concert on Saturday evening will include something extra special. The artist will unveil her latest single “Nada” along with its music video before her live performance at Parque Simon Bolivar. She teased her 54.2 million Instagram followers with a preview, assuring them that the song will be released online immediately following her show.
Rolling up her sleeves, the vocalist of Deja Vu patted down the wet cement with determination.
With unwavering resolve, she aimed to make a lasting impact: The beautiful blonde beamed with joy as she made her mark on the groundbreaking of the upcoming school.
While spending time with her students, Shakira sported a chic pink lace blouse paired with jeans, looking effortlessly stylish as she interacted with four young boys. The Colombian singer, whose full name is Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, must be looking forward to reuniting with her partner Gerard Piqué and their two sons in Barcelona, Spain. Shakira has been in a relationship with the talented Spanish footballer since 2011, who plays for both FC Barcelona and the Spanish national team. Their romance blossomed in the spring of 2010 when Gerard starred in the music video for Shakira’s hit song Waka Waka (This Time for Africa), which was the official anthem of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The couple are proud parents to two adorable boys, Milan, who is five years old, and Sasha, who is three.
Engaging and mingling: With a bold stance, a student confidently took the microphone as her friends surrounded the famous person.
The famous artist was welcomed by a huge number of excited fans who greeted him with smiles and waves.
Shakira made a profound impact on the Barranquilla school that is set to benefit from her foundation’s assistance.
