ACTUALIZADO: Pueden ver los vídeos de la presentación de esta iniciativa aquí:



On Monday, February 22 at 1pm, Shakira and World Bank President Robert B. Zoellick will launch a groundbreaking new venture, "The Early Childhood Initiative: An Investment for Life," at the World Bank headquarters in Washington, DC.

The Early Childhood Initiative will provide US$300 million in new funding and technical support to help countries create Early Childhood Development (ECD) programs in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The initiative, together with the ECD Secretariat for Latin America and the Caribbean, will present new policy options to the Millennium Development Goals Summit 2010 (scheduled for September) and the XX Ibero-American Summit, which will take place in Argentina later this year.

Head back to Shakira.com on Monday, when we're hoping to bring you live coverage of the launch here on the website.

The Early Childhood Initiative

Your tireless dedication to philanthropy and humanitarian work is admirable. Your foundation Pies Descalzos has already proved that this concept really pays off. I am very proud of you.

Dear Shakira, I hope you had a wonderful day. Your amazing and most beautiful ballad 'Antes de las seis' inspired my first novel - a beautiful love story. It features your music and my dream is to share it with you and if the stars align I hope to get your blessing to publish. The story seemed to come to me as gift from the heart - your beautiful song the driver. Best wishes, hopefully when the book is complete (soon) I can figure out how to make this book a reality. Have a beautiful day, Kim
