Her Bare Feet Foundation has schools in Colombia, is building schools in Haiti, and now expanding to the South Africa. She has said that the only way for a child not to do poor is by helping them thrive through education and getting them somewhere in life. After her crossover, she became the highest selling Latina singer since J. Lo. Shakira's "La Tortura", alongside Alejandro Sanz has been the only song in history to be played on English radio without being translated to English and was on the Mtv VMA's without translation. Her song "Hip's Don't Lie" has the title for the Biggest Selling Single and Most Played Single on Radio in a single week. Also, the music video for "She Wolf" is one of the most viewed video and one of the sexiest videos in the music industry. In the summer of 2010, Shakira's "Waka Waka" was the Official Song of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The song was the biggest selling song of a World Cup in history.
