Pop star Shakira will help build a school in Haiti. The Colombian singer wants to help Haiti’s people recover from the terrible earthquake that hit them in January. She will call her school Barefoot Haiti. Shakira has already been to the place where they will build her school. She met around 100 of her future students. Many of them danced to her songs when she arrived. Shakira told Haitians: "We've come to make all the preparations to be able to start the building of a…school here in Haiti." She added: "We need to think about the future of this country.”

Shakira helping the children of Haiti is great news. She is very popular all around the world, especially with young people. It’s a shame there are not more celebrities and famous people like her. Singers, actors, sports stars and successful business people are very rich. They have enough money to build one school each. Many celebs already do this, but all of them should do it. I think they should show more charity. They could really help their image and set a good example to others. The world needs them to do this.
