Early Childhood Development/Education

Many third world countries have limited resources and therefore have difficulties providing programs for their people. How much money would be needed to provide Early Childhood Development Programs throughout the world and how much money has been pledged? Keep up your great work! Z

Dream Act Scholarship We need your help!

Shakira, My name is Debbie Robles. I was here when you came to Arizona to speak out against SB1070. Thank you so much for your support. I also applaud your commitment to 1GOAL, and wish to one day also use my music to change the world. I am a citizen who has joined the Dream Act Coalition, in order to help these students and children who were brought here without a choice. You spoke to Erica Andiola from our coaltion and hugged her after she told you why she was brought to the U.S. and how she is now a graduate from college. We also gave you a shirt for the Dream Act. You have said that "every child in the world should have access to an education." Unfortunately, even in a great country like the United States, and in the state of Arizona, there are undocumented students who do not have that access, despite their immense talent. I'm talking about 85 students whose scholarship fund has run out of money, who can not go to school and complete their college educaiton unless they have this scholarship. We cannot receive merit scholarships or state funded scholarships because these children were brought to this country as children Shakira, I was here when you came to Arizona to speak out against SB1070.

I hear you might be joining the Sound Strike and avoid performing in Arizona, but I ask you: Will you be willing to hold a benefit concert here in Arizona WHERE THE PROCEEDS WILL GO TO THESE 85 UNIVERSITY STUDENTS who are about to finish their education? You have the opportunity to have a bigger positive impact by coming here than the limited passive impact by not coming. I humbly ask for you to come to Arizona. Help us access that education we are fighting for. And you will be creating a new generation of leaders to combat laws like SB1070 and serve communities in need.

Dream Act scholarship we need you!

Shakira, I was here when you came to Arizona to speak out against SB1070. In fact, that was the 2nd rally I had ever been to in my life. The first was when Jan Brewer signed the bill SB1070. Thank you so much for your support. I also applaud your commitment to 1GOAL. You were able to meet some of our dreamers from the Arizona Dream Act Coaltion and you heard Erika Andiola speak to you personally about why she came here to the U.S. and how she is now a college graduate. I persoanlly am a citizen from this group and stand up to fight for these students who were brought here without a choice, but who have still managed to get their college education. I hope to one day be able to have an impact, as you have, with my music aswell. You have said that "every child in the world should have access to an education."

CONCERT FOR EDUCATION IN ARIZONA!!

My question is.. WOULD YOU SUPPORT OUR CAUSE? You were here in Arizona to protest SB1070, I will like to ask you to come ones more but this time to help by doing a benefit concert. We are DREAMERs, students that are already on our last year of college but won't be able to finish because we have run out of funds. Most of us will be the first of our families to graduate from an university. All of us are role model for students who now think that College is a reality. Please help us accomplish our DREAM of finishing a college education. WOULD YOU SUPPORT OUR EDUCATION?

Wyclef For President

Hi Shakira, I am from St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands in the region of the Caribbean. I understand that you are also from the Caribbean on other side of our region. Do you believe that Wyclef Jean will be a suitable president for Haiti at this current time? Do you think Wyclef has the experience to effectively govern a country with a population of 9 million people? Haiti really needs to rebuild and restructure the government. Do you think that Wyclef's Presidency will have the plan of action necessary to rebuild Haiti for the success of future generations? The major issues in Haiti are the lack of proper nutrition and education for the children of Haiti. Will Wyclef be able to address such important issues and rebuild the country at the same time?

Hola Shakira

Bueno esto es mas una peticion que una pregunta, es que la mayoria de los fans no nos gusta Jaume de la Iguana (y nos gustaria que intentes con gente nueva) ya que el artwork de She Wolf, no fue uno de los mejores, pedimos que tomes mas tiempo en esos detallitos que para nosotros vale mucho.

My Question!!!

Hiya Shakira!!! My name is Melanie and I am from Canada. First off, I would like to tell you that I am so happy that you are coming back to Canada. I have a ticket for your show in Montréal and have wanted to see you in concert for 8 years. Thank you for finally making my dream come true. :) Hopefully you will do other Canadian cities as well. Anyway, this is what I would like to ask you. You did a collaboration with Beyoncé, which resulted in the song "Beautiful Liar". I love that song. Do you ever sing that song at your concerts? If so, do you sing the entire song yourself? Or do you have someone else sing Beyoncé lines? If you do sing it then I will look forward to hearing when I see you in concert. You are a great artist, dancer and singer and I love your music. :)

DREAM ACT please be our voice

My name is Dulce Matuz I am undocumented with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering. I paid my tuition out of pocket and with private scholarships. I am a licensed real estate agent. I volunteer in a foster care, robotics club and I teach English to adults for free. The only avenue for me to become a legal resident of the USA is the DREAM ACT. It will give me conditional residency if I meet strict criteria. I came to this country as a child and it was not my choice. It is now my choice to fight for my DREAMS. I am not asking for a free ride and I have worked very hard for all I have. I am one of the people who did the civil disobedience at Arizona Senator McCain’s office at Washington DC because enough is enough I want to continue my personal growth as an entrepreneur and philanthropist in the world and can’t do it 100% if I continue as an undocumented in the USA. It is up to congress to decide if I can stay or if I should be kicked out of my home the United States. I am asking if you can be the spokesperson for our fight THE DREAM ACT and give hope to 2.1 million undocumented children in the USA who are desperate to continue their life and education. These children are suffering discrimination and we are being told that we are second class citizens please HELP. I was in the same room with you when you came to Arizona to speak out against SB1070 and I hope I can count with your support again.

Benefit Concert

Hello Shakira, My name is Christian and I had the privileged of seeing you when you came to Arizona to speak out against SB1070. Thank you so much for your support. I also applaud your commitment to 1GOAL. You have said that "every child in the world should have access to an education." Unfortunately, even in a great country like the United States, and in the state of Arizona, there are undocumented students who do not have that access, despite their immense talent. I'm talking about 85 students whose scholarship fund has run out of money. We cannot receive merit scholarships or state funded scholarships because we were brought to this country as children and have been prisoners of our own success. Our access to higher education is being blocked by racist and xenophobic laws. However, we are getting together and organizing, working with Chicanos Por La Causa, Mayor Phil Gordon, and educational institutions. I hear you might be joining the Sound Strike and avoid performing in Arizona, but I ask you: Will you be willing to hold a benefit concert here in Arizona where the proceeds will go to these 85 university students who are about to finish their education? Unfortunately there isn't enough funds to pay for all of them at this point. You have the opportunity to have a bigger positive impact by coming here than the limited passive impact by not coming. I humbly ask for you to come to Arizona once again. Help us access that education we are fighting for. And you will be creating a new generation of leaders to combat laws like SB1070 and serve communities in need. Con mucho amor, Je t'aime Christian.
