London: Colombian beauty Shakira visited US President Barack Obama to discuss her charity campaign for educating underprivileged children across the world. The `Hips Don`t Lie` singer, who is an ambassador for UNICEF and runs her own charity The Barefoot Foundation, is calling for impoverished children to be given better access to education, Contactmusic reported.

The 33-year-old singer visited the US President at the White House on Monday to talk about increasing investment in the scheme. "It was such a privilege to sit down with the President in the Oval Office to discuss our shared commitment to education and early childhood development. We agreed that investing in our children is the smartest strategy governments can use to boost economic growth, fight poverty, and promote global security and peace," Shakira said. "We will be working closely with the President and his staff to implement his vision - for Latinos, children in the United States, and around the world," she added. PTI
