Even during her downtime, Shakira finds time to do some worthwhile things. The 31-year old Colombian singer spoke as an honorary chairperson for the “Global Campaign for Education” at the Capital in Washington DC on Tuesday. Shakira shared her experience growing up in the developing world where parents were pretty desperate to provide quality education for their children in hopes for a better future. She said that “Education can really save lives.” Shakira also mentioned that according to her sources, over 200 million teenagers can’t attend secondary school due to violence or being forced to work. Stay in school kids. Education is important.

She's hot. Wish her the best. BTW, my friend saw her profile on interracialchatting.com. Can't believe it. Is she dating someone there?
