Shakira Pledges 10 Schools After Colombia Quake
The Colombian star Shakira announced her commitment to help rebuild at least 10 schools and to restore a local university in the heavily affected Chocó region, following a 7.4 magnitude earthquake that struck western Colombia last week. The earthquake resulted in the deaths of 287 people and destroyed over 26,000 homes. During her surprise visit to the devastated areas, she pledged to provide significant financial support, totaling nearly $750,000 from both international and local sources, to get children back into school and strengthen education in the region. This comes as a reaffirmation of her belief in the importance of education and her hope to help rebuild the damaged educational institutions, especially since her educational organization has been working in the area for 22 years.
