Shakira Helps Kids In Bangladesh. She’s Like Mother Theresa, But A Little Less Hot.

Not only does Colombian singer Shakira have the ability to contort her hips in such a way as to rip a role in the space-time continuum, she also works as a UNICEF ambassador. Way to use your shimmying for good, Shak-Attack:

Shakira, a United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) ambassador, arrived on a three-day visit to Bangladesh on Monday and toured several coastal villages.

She chatted to children who lost parents and mothers who lost children or spouses.

“The world should give a helping hand to rebuild schools in Bangladesh,” twice Grammy Award-winner Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll told Reuters in an interview.

” … because schools are the only place where children can pass happy moments forgetting all their saddest parts of life.”

School? Shit. Those poor kids. We’re proud of you, Shakira. You’ve managed to make us write about you for a reason other than a sex tape or anything involving pepper spray.
