Obama and Shakira, what a pair

The National Security Council, the Domestic Policy Council and pop singer Shakira met today to discuss early childhood development. It seems an unlikely group, but in an interview with Fox News, Shakira spoke knowledgeably on the topics. She had given speeches to the councils on early childhood education and nutrition.

After she addressed the councils, she got to go into the Oval Office and meet with Obama, where she says they further talked about childhood development. Shakira is one of the best selling female artists of all time, and she lends her star power to causes she supports and need money now.

Early childhood development education

The programs and efforts that Shakira met with Obama and the councils about are focused on educating parents and leaders about providing proper stimulation and nutrition to children during the first six years of life. Fox News says she was in Washington, D.C. to support the ALAS foundation which encourages early childhood development education in the Latin American world.

Shakira said she and the president also talked about childhood obesity, a cause that Michelle Obama has taken on in the U.S. When Shakira was 18, she started a foundation in Columbia called Barefoot Foundation, which provides education and nutrition to children in areas of conflict.
