Former U.S. President Bill Clinton donated two million dollars to the school that was built by Shakira’s Pies Descalzos foundation.

Clinton visited the school in Barranquilla on the side of his performance at the IADB summit in MedellĂ­n.

The money will be spent on the nutrition of the mostly poor children that attend the school and for a course in how to generate income for the children’s parents.

Clinton received a warm welcome at the IADB Summit, where he urged Latin American bankers to “engage the left”, meaning the people of Venezuela, Bolivia and Ecuador, whom he called “Colombia’s neighbors”.
