Shakira to build school in her hometown |
Bogota, Colombia - Pop diva Shakira will donate the proceeds from a concert in her hometown to build an arts school for 1,800 children forced to flee their homes by Colombia's civil war.
The school will be located in La Playa, a poor suburb of Barranquilla where 45% of the residents are minors, only about half of whom attend school.
