Shakira Gives $45 Million To Charity

Shakira is showing her love for Central and South America and giving back to the people who live there. While at the Clinton Global Initiative conference in New York, Shakira announced that she would donate $45 million to help various areas in Latin America plagued by problems that have gone unfixed.

$40 million will be given to Peru and Nicaragua to help with rebuilding and other efforts after earthquakes and hurricanes devastated the regions. The remaining $5 will be donated to educational projects for children who live in poverty and cannot afford proper schooling in Latin American countries.

That’s unreal – $45 million?! You go Shakira – I hope the money is put to good use.
