Shakira's baby shower

Singer Shakira, who is expecting her first child with boyfriend Gerard Pique, has launched an online baby shower and is asking fans to honour their child by supporting UNICEF in giving underprivileged babies around the globe a healthy start in life.

The singer is UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and requesting fans to buy gifts for some of the world's poorest babies. Contactmusic.com reports that the couple posted the invitation on Twitter Wednesday.

"Dear Friends, Having our first baby is such an incredibly happy time for us. That's why we want to invite you to our baby shower with a twist. Rather than asking you to give gifts to our new baby, we're asking you to honour him by supporting UNICEF in giving underprivileged babies around the globe a healthy start in life. It would really mean a lot to us," the couple said in a joint statement on Twitter.

The virtual baby shower, launched on Jan 15, invites fans into Shakira and Gerard's virtual living room. "You can choose an Inspired Gift from our registry - to give the gift of immunizations so more babies grow up healthy and disease free, rehydration salts to save children's lives and therapeutic food so babies will get enough to eat," the couple wrote.
