Shakira returned to her hometown of Barranquilla, Colombia, on Saturday to visit a school for underprivileged children.
The 45-year-old singer was accompanied by sons Milan, nine, and Sasha, seven, as she waved to the huge crowd of waiting fans.
Shakira, who shares her children with ex Gerard Pique, cut a trendy figure in a tight green vest and baggy cargo pants.
She completed the look with stylish sunglasses and added some height with white platform sneakers.
It came after Shakira once again appeared to use her music to take a swipe at her ex, 36, as she revealed the title of her latest single.
Girl did good: Shakira, 45, returned to her hometown of Barranquilla, Colombia, on Saturday to visit a school for underprivileged children

She previously released a “diss track” about her former footballer flame and his new girlfriend Clara Chia Marti.
And now she’s sent a powerful new message with the name of her latest song, which she calls “The Boss,” according to The Sun.
This alludes to the alleged nickname Gerard’s friends gave her after they claimed she wouldn’t spend time with them during their relationship.
The footballer’s friends chose the name “La Patron”, which means “The Boss”, to refer to her “bad character”.
She previously performed her previous “diss track” at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards on Tuesday.
The song, released in January, was called Shakira Bzrp Music Sessions 53 and contains several references to Gerard, including the line: “A lot of gyms. But also give your brain a little exercise.”
Shakira also sings: “I’m worth two 22s.” You traded a Ferrari for a Twingo. You traded a Rolex for a Casio.’
Another part of the song says, “From love to hate there’s only one step,” before Shakira adds, “No hard feelings baby, I wish you all the best with my supposed replacement.”

Targeted: It comes after she appeared to once again use her music to take a swipe at her ex, 36, as she revealed the title of her latest single (pictured at the MTV VMA Awards on Tuesday).
She makes another clear reference to 23-year-old Clara with the lyrics: “She has the name of a good person.” Obviously it’s not what it sounds like.’
“Clearly” in English means “Claramente” in Spanish and obviously refers to her ex’s new girlfriend, as one fan pointed out.
The hitmaker took the stage at the awards show to perform a medley of her biggest hits, including She Wolf, Objection (Tango), Hips Don’t Lie and Whenever, Wherever.
Shakira closed out the sensational performance with Shakira Bzrp Music Sessions 53, throwing herself into the crowd in true rockstar fashion before receiving a standing ovation from the impressed crowd.

And in the audience were her two sons Milan, nine, and Sasha, seven, whom she shares with her ex Gerard.
The boys were there to cheer her on as she accepted one of the night’s top honors – the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award – becoming the first South American artist to be honored with the award.
After winning the honor, she took the stage and gave a speech thanking her family and fans.
