http://www.shakira.com Being here today is a tremendous honor for me. I am thankful to President Obama and I am humbled that my philanthropic experience could be helpful in some measure and can be used to amplify the message and work of the President and this Commission.
Latino youth are the fastest-growing group in America, and more Latino children are living in poverty than children of any other racial or ethnic group. For a number of reasons, young Latinos in this country disproportionately drop out of school and far too few finish college. And as I have seen in my own Foundation work, the only road out of poverty is education – of that I am convinced.
Investing in the educational achievement for Latinos will not only determine the economic future and competitiveness of this nation, but can serve as a model for the world.
I hope that through my appointment to this commission, I will be able to share what I’ve learned through the 15 years I have been involved in the education of Latino children. I am sure you will agree with me that race and ethnicity shouldn’t be factors in the success of any child.
It is my belief and its also been demonstrated that if we provide early childhood education to Latino children it would take less than a decade to reap the benefits since investment in early education is proven to generate the fastest returns to the state.
With more ECD programs there will be less Latino students being held back, less dropouts and less crime involving school-age children; and they will be more productive individuals to society.
Its proven that most Latino kids who drop out of school and perform poorly in high school didn’t have access to an early childhood education and lacked essential attention, stimulation and nutrition during the first 6 years of their lives.
Therefore, it is clear that the most powerful avenue for boosting academic achievement is improving the basic academic skills of children before kindergarten.
The Obama administration has made a point to improve Latino education and — as I spoke to the President previously — I am extremely passionate about working with the White House to plan an early childhood education summit in the coming year.
Latinos are the largest minority group in this country and as the Latino population grows, the U.S. economy becomes more and more dependent on its success. Americans must better understand the impact that the growing Latino population is having on the way we live today and on this nations future. Inevitably this country and its economic prosperity will also largely depend on our Hispanic kids.
There is no doubt that the future of the United States is inextricably tied to the future of the Latino community here and the education of its youth.
Thank you again, this is a great honor for me, I am so happy to be here.

SINGAPORE: Dr Tony Tan Keng Yam has been sworn in as the seventh President of Singapore, less than a week after winning the presidential polls.
The 71-year-old former deputy prime minister took his oath in the presence of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Chief Justice Chan Sek Keong.
A guard of honour mounted by the Singapore Armed Forces and the Singapore Police Force welcomed the country’s new President, before he took his Oath of Office.
“I, Tony Tan Keng Yam, having been elected as the president of Singapore, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully discharge my duties,” he said.
The swearing-in ceremony at the Istana on Thursday was witnessed by Cabinet ministers, members of the judiciary, parliamentarians and senior civil servants. Also present was Dr Tan’s wife, Mrs Mary Tan.
Dr Tan, whose term of office is for six years, was elected after a four-cornered contest in the Presidential Election held on 27 August.
He garnered 35.2 percent of the ballot including the overseas votes.
Dr Tan succeeds Mr S R Nathan who has served as President for the last 12 years, the longest presidency in Singapore’s history.
Just before Dr Tan was sworn in, there was a farewell reception for Mr Nathan.
Mr Nathan received his final presidential salute before he took his leave at about 7.40pm, marking an end to his presidency.
The swearing-in ceremony saw both President Tan and Prime Minister Lee emphasise the importance of unity for the nation in their speeches.
In particular, Prime Minister Lee stressed that while a strong economy will always be a priority, Singapore must also build a united society which leaves no Singaporean behind and a well-functioning political system that delivers good government.
Prime Minister Lee noted that the recently concluded general election and presidential polls were fiercely contested.
In the Presidential Election, some candidates had championed various policies while campaigning, even though policymaking is the responsibility of the government and not the President and the debate was intense, at times even divisive.
But now that both elections are over, Singaporeans must come together again and move forward as one people and one nation, said Mr Lee.
“Singapore faces considerable challenges. To surmount them, we must remain cohesive and united, supporting one another, and making tough choices together. Then we can continue to progress and prosper, and create more opportunities and a better life for ourselves,” he said.
“The government will work hard to reach out to all groups, to draw us all closer together. As our President, you have an important contribution to make in promoting national unity.”
Mr Lee also spoke about the President’s custodial functions and said there will be occasions when the government will seek the President’s approval to draw on past reserves.
Responding, President Tan said: “I will wield this ‘second key’ with utmost care. Our reserves have been painstakingly built up over decades, and should not be compromised.
“Our government must continue to live within its means, and only draw on past reserves in an exceptional crisis – like the one we faced in 2008. I therefore welcome the Prime Minister’s assurance that the government will continue to be responsible with our finances. I will play my role to safeguard our reserves, so that they can continue to give us confidence in tough times.”
President Tan added he can be both a resource and a symbol. So he will offer the Prime Minister his confidential advice on government policies and engage all Singaporeans to understand their interests and concerns.

POPLAR — Darryl Dean Red Eagle, Wambdi Sake Suta (Strong Eagle Talons), age 45, was born on May 29, 1966, to the late Delmar Red Eagle and Betty (Good Bird) Black Dog. Darryl left unexpectedly into the Spirit World on June 20, 2011, due to natural causes.
Darryl attended schools in Poplar, graduating with the PHS Class of 1985, and was a member of the PHS Varsity Boys Basketball from 1982 to 1985. During this time, the media labeled him as “Mr. Everything.” He also received many basketball awards while on the team. He went on to attend college and play basketball at United Tribes Technical College and Mary College in Bismarck, N.D. He later attended Sitting Bull College, receiving his degree in Human Services.
Darryl worked in various jobs in Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota: Black Hills Forestry in Custer, S.D.; Shelter for Neglected Children in Rapid City, S.D.; Concrete Foundations in Bismarck, N.D.; Fort Lincoln State Park Cultural Resources in Mandan, N.D.; The Fort Peck Tribes as the Tribal Courts Cultural Resource Specialist; and later TERO Director; and most recently Darryl was a proud member of the Fort Peck Tribal Executive Board, serving his third term on the council, an accomplishment he so well deserved. He loved this job because he loved helping people. He never turned anyone away. He did all his work from the heart. He traveled many miles to speak on behalf of Healthcare. He presented a testimony on behalf of the Tribes at IHS and BIA hearings. Darryl was well respected throughout NDN country.
“D” or “Brother” as his sister would call him was very proud of Maureen. He would always say, “No matter what, Sis, hold your head up and be proud because that’s how you make me feel.” Darryl dearly loved his only son, Dennis Melvin; he would give him lots of praise, no matter what it was. He was always talking about his daughter Delayne and how beautiful she was. Most of all, his granddaughter Emmarie Ann, whom he wished he could be closer to. Darryl loved to brag about his nephew, Jr. Dionne. He was very proud of his nephew. Jr. and Darryl were planning summer basketball camps this year across the reservation.
Darryl loved being with his family & friends. He loved telling stories and joking with everyone who crossed his path. He was always good to everyone. Darryl had many friends whom he loved to be around. His love of basketball took him near and far. He liked to chef up for his family and friends, play pool and horseshoes, he also liked to go cruising, sitting at new bridge watching eagles circle above him. He enjoyed singing at powwows and 49′s. No matter where “D” went, he always met up with friends or made new ones.
Darryl was compassionate, traditional, inspirational, loving, caring, generous, and kind-hearted. Darryl would want us to treat each other with respect, with a hug and a handshake, always tell one another that we love each other. And to be proud of who you are and where you came from. Be proud to be Native. He was a common man, a True Warrior.
A Wake was held Friday, June 24, at 7 p.m. at the Poplar Cultural Center. His Funeral service was held 2 p.m. Saturday, June 25, at the Poplar High School gym. Interment followed at Fort Kipp Cemetery, Fort Kipp, Montana.
