Shakira to host World Baby Shower

The couple is expanding on the idea they had when expecting their son Milan, who turns two Thursday, and creating a shareable event for expectant mothers in a bid to benefit Unicef and vulnerable children around the world, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

“Now that we are soon welcoming our second child we want to help other children around the world and also contribute to a long-lasting solution for getting children living in extreme poverty the supplies they need to survive,” Shakira said in a statement. “We also want other parents to feel compelled to do the same. With the explosion of social media, celebrities aren’t the only ones who have platforms that can reach mass audiences, and we want this movement to keep going long after our baby shower has ended, so we want to invite them to host their own baby showers with Unicef as well,” she added.

Fans can visit a site and donate directly via a link on Shakira’s Facebook page, in which she appealed for fans to help “save the lives” of hundreds of thousands of youngsters.

“Every woman who’s expecting has the power to use the blessing of her child’s imminent birth to save the lives of other, less fortunate children. If every expectant mother having a baby shower decided to include among her gift registry some of these inspired gifts that Unicef offers, we could save the lives of hundreds of thousands of children,” she said.
