By VJ, WENNWednesday, February 24, 2010
SHAKIRA is giving fans the opportunity to get involved in her children’s charity by supporting the launch of a limited edition range of T-shirts and bracelets.
The pop star has teamed up with Hard Rock International to create the Shakira Artist Spotlight T-Shirt and Bracelet, with proceeds going towards her Fundacion Pies Descalzos, a non-profit organisation she established in 1997 to provide basic needs for kids in her native Colombia.
The United Nations Goodwill Ambassador says, “With the launch of the Shakira Artist Spotlight T-Shirt, I hope to increase international awareness and support for the Fundacion Pies Descalzos, an organisation that is extremely close to my heart.
The T-shirt, designed by the Hips Don’t Lie hitmaker, will retail at Hard Rock Cafe stores and online for $26 (£16.25), while the Shakira-inspired bracelet is priced at $12 (£7.50).
Shakira has been busy raising awareness about the plight of children living in poverty this week (begs22Feb10) - she met with U.S. president Barack Obama on Monday (22Feb10) to discuss issues including education and early childhood development.
