Shakira And Juanes Two Colombians To Show.
I know that my country Colombia have big problems with drugs and our guerrillas. However we also have very good things too. I want to talk about two really good personalities that have been working hard for good purposes leaving the name of my country high. Shakira is a singer from Barranquilla, one of the biggest cities in Colombia. She is really famous person here in the U.S. Shakira has a big organization in Colombia called “Pies Descalzos” in English “barefoot” this organization give shoes to all poor children in Colombia. She directs big part of her money to this organization every year. She also has another organization called Christmas for all. This organization takes gifts to poor families in Colombia on every Christmas. The second person that I want to talk about is Juan Estevan Aristizabal. Better know as Juanes. This guy is a warrior of peace. He has been fighting to fix the frontier problems of Colombia with Venzuela. He also fights for the relation of USA with Cuba. These are small examples but his name is always present when big peace events happen. I know these two stars are not enough to show the good things of my country but at least I am showing the good spirit of part of my people.

I also admire these two artists, I still remember the first time I heard a song from Shakira I taught that she was awesome. Now I can say that she is the best because of her humanity towards the people in need, not only in Colombia but in other countries too. About Juanes I love his music and I am proud of him for taking a chance against all odds and going to the concert in Cuba to promote peace and freedom, even though a lot of people criticized him.
