<\/p>\n

was never a fan
\nso didn’t know much of Shakira<\/a>
\ntill I came across the FIFA World Cup Song<\/a>
\n(and got pulled back to watching a fairly dull tournament \ud83d\ude41 so far).<\/p>\n

I read,
\nshe will be appearing in Glastonbury<\/a> this year.
\nho hum, I said,
\nthanks for the information.<\/p>\n

then I read about her charity work.
\nI sat up for a second read.
\n
\n\"Barefoot<\/a><\/p>\n

she founded it
\nin 1997 when only 18 years old.
\nPies Descalzos, or Barefoot,<\/span> has a double significance;
\nit is the name of the record that made Shakira\u2019s music internationally known
\nand it also recognizes the thousands of children living in such poverty that they cannot even afford shoes.
\nThe Barefoot Foundation works to ensure that every Colombian child can exercise their right to a quality education. <\/span><\/p>\n

I find honesty in her generosity
\nhow can I not become
\na fan?<\/p>\n

\"shakira<\/a>
\n” … You paved the way, believe it”<\/span><\/p>\n
