TV show for victims of Colombia rainfall

Wednesday, July 6, 2011 / 10:09 am

Shakira has appeared on a special TV program with producer Quincy Jones to raise funds for the 2.4 million victims left homeless after what many are saying has been Colombia’s worst rain season in decades.

“Thank you very much for your solidarity, for that great heart you’ve always had,” said President Santos in a meeting a day before she took the stage at Bogota’s Parque Simon Bolivar for Sale el Sol World Tour. “I want to tell you that what you did with Quincy Jones reaches deep in our hearts, it moves us and demonstrates to us the great person you are.” According to Shakira, "there is no pain in the world that isn't ours and there are no tears that aren't ours."

Colombia is in the process of rebuilding houses and infrastructure destroyed by landslides and floods caused by the excessive rains. For more info, please visit colombiahumanitaria.gov.co/

PAIN, TEARS AND HOPE

Dear Shakira, I’m very moved by the program. You may know, that their pain is your pain is my pain and that their tears are your tears are my tears! But there’s hope, especially by people like you! iTe amo! I pray for you, your good work and – of course – for the victims in your country and worldwide! God bless you! Your fan Jenne Bootsma from Holland.

World for Colombia?

Ciao Shakira. Sensibile come sempre. Brava. Se può servire raccogliamo tutti il tuo appello e continuiamo tramite di te la raccolta fondi. Dai un input in questo senso e io aderisco volentieri.

NO ERES DE LAS PERSONAS QUE AYUDA POR PUBLICIDA O POR EL QUE DIRAN ""2 OHHH LA CANTANTE COLOMBIANA SHAKIRA AYUDA A LOS MAS NECESITADOS O, QUE HABLEN DE TI SINPARAR"""" NO ERES ASI TU AYUDAS SIN VER QUE TE DARAN, Y ESO E¿ME GUSTA Y HACE QUE LA GENTE QU ETE QUIERE TE QUIERA MAS Y MAS. SIGUES ASI PORFAVOR NO CAMBIES, ERES UNA MUJER CON EL CORAZON DE UNA NIÑA. Y NIÑA HECHA MUJER. BESOS Y ABRAZO DE OSO DE LIMA PERU KARLA BAZALAR Y JESUS BAZALAR.
