Shakira !!!

But don't expect to see her singing, shaking her hips (moviendo las caderas) or snogging (kissing -informal-) her boyfriend Gerard Piqué !!

In this video Shakira speaks about the work of her charity ,Barefoot Foundation,http://barefootfoundation.com/index_en.php (Fundación Pies Descalzos) at Oxford University's Oxford Union . The Oxford Union is a debating, educational, and social society . Over the years countless (incontables) actors, writers, film stars, musicians, celebrities and politicians have spoken there. These past guests (invitados) of The Oxford Union include the Dalai Lama, Winston Churchill, Mother Teresa, Presidents Nixon, Carter and Reagan, Stephen Hawking, Michael Jackson, Jon Bon Jovi and Albert Einstein to name just a few.

Watch Shakira deliver her passionate speech about the importance of investing in children's education reciting from memory and in excellent English ! (the video is subtitled in Spanish).
