Arriving on Sunday, the singer waved to onlookers and greeted infants living on a Haitian golf course that has turned into a sprawling makeshift camp for 50,000 quake survivors. Her Barefoot foundation provides nutrition to more than 6,000 children in Colombia. Shakira was greeted by actor Sean Penn, who is providing humanitarian aid at Haitian refugee camps.
