Celebrity

Shakira and her boyfriend are celebrating the imminent arrival of their second baby by urging fans to purchase 'inspired gifts' through UNICEF to help other children around the world.

AceShowbiz - Shakira and her beau Gerard Pique are hosting a "World Baby Shower" campaign for UNICEF to welcome their second baby. The couple is expanding their original "World Baby Shower" initiative they came up with when celebrating baby shower for their first child Milan.

Shakira said in a statement released by UNICEF on Monday, January 19, "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."

She added, "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."

The "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)" hitmaker shared on Facebook two photos of her and her family posing together for the campaign. The first photo showed Shakira and Gerard holding Milan between them as the trio smiled into the camera. In the second snap, the songstress showed off her blossoming baby bump as her boyfriend cradled it from behind.

Shakira also shared a video of her and Gerard promoting the campaign. The video was accompanied by a lengthy message to let fans know the details of her campaign. "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 around the world," she wrote, "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 collectively save the lives of hundreds of thousands of children all over the globe."

Fans can support the baby shower campaign by purchasing "inspired gifts," including midwifery kits with medical equipment for safe delivery of 50 babies, measles and polio vaccines, blankets, and baby scales, a soccer ball, a storybook to nurture a love of reading and learning and a special thank-you card from Shakira and Gerard, through UNICEF.
