UNICEF: UNICEF Ambassador Shakira in Bangladesh

PATUAKHALI, Bangladesh, 21 December 2007 -- Internationally acclaimed singer, musician and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Shakira travelled to Bangladesh recently and met with women and children whose lives have been affected by Cyclone Sidr.

Shakira visited UNICEF-supported education projects and listened intently to people's stories of pain and the struggle to rebuild their lives after the disaster.

"I am sorry for what happened to you," Shakira said to a group of cyclone survivors. "But things are going to get better again. I admire your resilience and your patience and how much you can still give when you have so little for yourselves."
