Colombian pop star Shakira makes a surprise visit to schools damaged by last week’s earthquake in her home country and pledges to help rebuild them. Multiple outlets report she says she will support the construction of at least 10 new schools in a remote region affected by the disaster.
The reports say the earthquake is devastating: it kills hundreds of people and leaves thousands of students and school facilities affected. Outlets also frame the visit as part of Shakira’s public response to the damage to education sites, highlighting that she is focusing specifically on restoring schools in the hardest-hit area.
Across the sources, the central details are consistent—Shakira’s visit, the scale of the earthquake’s impact on communities and schooling, and her commitment to rebuilding at least 10 schools. Differences, where present, mainly involve wording and emphasis rather than the underlying facts reported about her pledge and the disaster’s reported toll.
