Shaki was in New York to show her support of the former president’s initiative to gather people together to discuss global problems and walk away with concrete steps for change in place.

Shakira was also there to announce her own pledge for change:

…a $40 million project to help Peru and Nicaragua rebuild after natural disasters, as well as a $5 million commitment for health and education services in four Latin American countries.

Joining Shakira in supporting the Clinton Initiative are a slew of A-list celebs, among them Chris Rock, Alicia Keys and Bono.
