Shakira seems to be on a charity mission this month, and made her home country of Colombia her latest location as she lay the foundations for a school in Cartegena.
Just weeks after visiting a school in Haiti, she jetted down to South America to help with the construction of the project led by her foundation ‘Barefoot’.
The Hips Don’t Lie singer, 34, was snapped laying the first brick for the institution, named Cartegena de Indias, which is set to help 1,500 children in poverty.

She continued: ‘I want to thank so many people, but especially the mayor’s office because I think this is a very high risk area, it has been identified as a high risk area, and it is an area that a lot of other governments would have simply thrown into the waste basket.’
The school is being built in the impoverished neighbourhood of Loma del Peye and will be large enough to take in 1,500 students, according to the Barefoot Foundation.
