Shakira's DR Home

Shakira is demonstrably concerned with the poor children in Colombia. She grew up in a coastal city in Colombia.

She now owns a luxury home in the Dominican Republic. I am curious as to whether she is a social activist in that country as well or if she does what most rich people do there, which is to enjoy the sun and sea and to avoid rocking the boat.

The divide between the rich and the poor is staggering in the Dominican Republic, whose national motto might as be be "Well, at least we're not Haiti."
