Pop star Shakira took time out of her schedule this week to once again give support to a favorite charity. As the spokesperson for Global Campaign for Education, Shakira made an appearance in Washington D.C. on Tuesday as part of the organization’s “Action Week,” which runs through April 27th.

Meeting with Congress members and students from all over the nation, she helped promote the Education for All Act of 2007, which will raise money globally for disadvantaged primary age schoolchildren. In addition to raising funds for the younger children, Global Campaign for Education is also working on raising awareness and support for approximately 225 million older children.

Believing that quality education is everyone’s right, the organization hopes that governments and communities worldwide will band together and do what they must to educate the world’s youth.
