Pratt stated that "this statue's story is a friendship legend, with her and Colombia, which began 5 years ago." Pratt is also a council member in the German city of Neuss.
He recalled inviting Shakira to a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco) event, which was held in Neuss last November. It was to raise funds to help poor children.
The organizers gave 10 percent of the funds raised in the vent for Shakira's "Pies Descalzos" Foundation, which helps unprotected children.
That time, Pratt gave Shakira the statue. She asked it to be placed in the center of Barranquilla, as a homage for young people in that town who fight for their dreams.
Pratt stated that "Shakira thinks that (Barranquilla's) airport is visited only for those who can travel by plane, and that she wants for all young people to see it and keep going," that is why she asked for it to be placed in her hometown's center. NTX
