The video premiere of “rising sun” comes accompanied by the launch of a new documentary about the Fundacion Pies Descalzos called “Let the sun rises.” Directed by Jaume de la Iguana and produced by Freixenet, this production shows the world the reality of vulnerable and displaced children in Colombia and why Shakira decided to start this great work. ”After eight years I was a setback in my family environment, we deal with a slump in business from my father, he took me to see the poverty that existed in my country and I promised myself that someday I would do something just for my family, but for these kids,” said the singer in his documentary
Pies Descalzos Foundation, the Colombian singer Shakira, and the Spanish NGO Action Aid laid the foundation stone of a sports center to be built in the town of Soacha, adjacent to Bogota, where they live “with great cruelty” the drama of displaced by violence. So what the president said in Bogota Action Aid, Jaime Montalvo, stressing the importance of this work Soacha, a town “where it is more visible than in many other tragedy of the displaced” by the Colombian armed conflict.
In Soacha live many “families broken up” and especially children spend “big trouble,” said the president of the NGO led by Pilar de Borbon, sister of the King of Spain.
The sports center, designed by renowned Colombian architect Giancarlo Mazzanti and whose construction will invest more than $ 500,000, will be ready in May and Montalvo seeks to “convince” the sister of the King to attend the inauguration.
Funding for the work came mainly from donations collected by the foundation Pies Descalzos, chaired by former Foreign Minister Maria Emma Mejia Colombia, and a benefit concert organized by radio station 40 Principales Madrid a year ago and was attended by Shakira. The project will benefit a marginal community of more than 30 thousand people in an area where two schools work also built by the founding of the singer, according to Pies Descalzos.
