Colombian music star Shakira urged world and business leaders at the opening ceremony of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland on Monday to support efforts to feed, educate and care for underprivileged children.
"Today's babies will drive tomorrow's business. Their capacity to contribute will shape tomorrow's societies, will solve tomorrow's problems," said Shakira, who is also a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador devoted to early childhood development, in an impassioned speech reported by Reuters.
"In this room there are some of the most powerful people in the world, and definitely I'm convinced you know what it means to be ahead of the curve," she added. “We need to apply the brains and strategies of business and the assets and human resources and talents of your companies to do social good and to solve social problems."
