Antes de las Seis ny singel
Nu är det bekräftat att Antes de las Seis blir den 4:e singeln från Sale El Sol! Den kommer släppas den 21:e oktober, tillsammans med en live-video från Paris. Utmärkt val enligt mig!
Officella bilden för SES Tour DVD
Nu mina vänner, har vi fått reda på det officiella omslaget till Tour Sale El Sol-dvd:n som kommer släppas den 22:e november. Vad tycker ni? Själv tycker jag att det ser lite hastigt gjort ut...men hon är söt & jag gillar de lila färgerna.
Puerto Rico 14/10-11
Detta var antagligen Shakiras sista konsert på Tour Sale El Sol om inte fler turnédatum tillkännages vilket inte verkar särskilt troligt just nu. Som en liten överraskning kom René från Calle 13 och sjöng Gordita med Shak! På ryggen hade han skrivit "Hoy soy tu Piqué" (=idag är jag din Piqué).
Backstage Puerto Rico 14/10-11
Presskonferens i Puerto Rico 13/10-11
Direkt efter att hon anlänt till Puerto Rico där hon även spelade på kvällen höll Shakira en presskonferens, kika in bilder nedan!
Kiev, Ukraina 8/10-11
Shakira invigde i lördags ett OS-stadium i Ukrainas huvudstad Kiev. Se bilder nedan!
Setlist:
- Why Wait
- Te Dejo Madrid
- Whenever, Wherever
- La Tortura
- Loca
- She Wolf
- Ojos Así
- Hips Don't Lie
- Waka Waka
Lite roligt var att hon under HDL råkade säga "Thank you Moscow!" istället för Kiev...haha, förvirrad Shak? ;)

Detta är perfekt med tanke på allt hon har gjort för diverse organisationer, hon förtjänar verkligen detta eftersom Shak brinner för att hjälpa latinamerikanska barn och ungdomar.
Hon besökte Vita Huset i måndags för möten, men där togs inga bilder eftersom det inte var ett officiellt möte mellan henne och presidenten. Däremot var hon där igår för att tala om utbildning och avlägga ed, och då klickade många kameror! Hon var verkligen fin och det syntes att hon var glad (och lite nervös) ♥
Hon skrev även en artikel om sitt arbete på Vita Husets hemsida:
Shakira: Improving Latino Education Crucial to Community and to America's Economic Competitiveness
Posted by Shakira on October 06, 2011 at 03:00 PM EDT
Latino youth are the fastest-growing group in America, and more Latino children are living in poverty than children of any other racial or ethnic group; one in four, that's 6.1 million Latino children living in poverty in the United States.
For a host of reasons, young Latinos in this country disproportionately drop out of school and far too few finish college. And as I have seen in my own philanthropic work, the only road out of poverty is education.
Investing in the educational achievement of this vulnerable population will not only help determine the economic future and competitiveness of this nation, but can serve as a model for the world. I am grateful to have an opportunity to support and inform such important work.
I hope that through my appointment to this commission, I will be able to share what I've learned through the 15 years I have been involved in the education of Latino children. As we all know, race and ethnicity shouldn't be factors in the success of any child.
It is my belief that if we provide early childhood education to Latino children who need it but cannot afford it, it will take less than a decade to reap the benefits. There will be fewer Latino students being held back, fewer who need special education at a later age, less crime involving school-age children, and a smaller achievement gap between Latino and White students.
This isn't just my belief. There is substantial scientific support for this notion. According to numerous recent studies, the largest predictor of high school educational achievement is academic skill level upon entry into kindergarten. Even by middle school, these academic patterns have become entrenched, forming a blueprint that shapes a student's entire academic experience and life. Upon entering kindergarten 42% of Latino children are found in the lowest quartile of performance in reading skills compared to just 18% of white children.
For that reason it is clear that the most powerful avenue for boosting academic achievement at all grade levels is improving the basic academic skills of children before kindergarten.
The Obama administration has made a point to improve Latino education and, as I have discussed with President Obama, I am extremely passionate about working with the White House to plan an early childhood education summit in the coming year. The importance of this cannot be overemphasized.
As the Latino population grows, the U.S. economy becomes more and more dependent on its success.
There is no doubt that the future of the United States is inextricably tied to the future of the Latino community here and the education of its youth.
The more we invest in strategies that nurture the bodies and minds of young Latino children the more we'll guarantee economic prosperity for this great country in the years to come.

Om Shakiras besök till barnhem i Brasilien
Denna text är kopierad från www.shakira.com och här får ni reda på exakt varför Shakira besökte barnhemmet 'Cidade de Deus' i Rio de Janeiro!
On Friday, the Brazilian government together with Alas Foundation and the Xuxa Meneghel Foundation officially launched today a partnership in support of early childhood. This partnership, proposed in March of this year by the President of Brazil Dilma Rousseff and Shakira, includes, among other things, action plans to increase access in quality education, health and nutrition in this country. The event was attended by important personalities and representatives of the Brazilian government including the Minister of Human Rights Maria do Rosario, the Governor of Rio de Janeiro, Sergio Cabral, as well as ALAS representative, Shakira and Brazilian presenter and president of the Xuxa Foundation, Xuxa Meneghel.
Shakira, representative of ALAS in her speech, highlighted the cooperation program in Brazil stating:
“Both ALAS and I are proud to be part of a program that provides the children of Brazil with education, health and nutrition, the tools they need to break the cycle of poverty and inequality.
The first 6 years of a child's life represent the most important stage of development. It is in these years when their brains and capacities, their functions and basic skills are developed. Therefore, I am convinced that investing in Early Childhood Development represents an investment in the future of our countries.
I hope that programs like the one we are launching today in Brazil are replicated in all of Latin American. The possibility to end poverty and marginalization is at our fingertips. Let's keep working together so our children may paint a better future for themselves and for us all.”
The main objective of the program is to strengthen early childhood education policy in Brazil with priority given to children from 0 to 6 years of age. In order to do so, the program will advice participating municipalities to improve the quality of care in preschools, among other actions. The training will focus on four areas in particular: quality teaching methods, human resource selection, teacher training and working with the family and the community, using a child rights-based approach. The goal is to reach 100 institutions in a period of four years - 25 centers per year - starting in October 2011, in the State of Rio de Janeiro to gradually expand the range of action by 2015.
Encouraging the development and implementation of public policies and programs that give priority to early childhood development (ECD) is, undoubtedly, the best investment for the future of Latin America. So today, the presentation of the partnership between the Brazilian government, ALAS and Xuxa Meneghel Foundations, is not only an important step for Brazilian children, but for the development of Latin America.
