Thread Name: BS: A little Malawi boy and Madonna
Subject: RE: BS: A little Malawi boy and Madonna
She has supported AIDS charities in the UK and Africa for at least the last ten years. And rather than giving them lip service she has contributed estimated millions.

She is setting up an orphanage in Malawi which will help feed, clothe and home up to 4000 orphans, most orphaned due to AIDS/HIV.

I have no doubt of her good intent and significant contribution to putting her money where it counts. If she were to stand at a conference and talk about the issues in depth she would be criticised for the way she spoke.

My only doubt in this whole situation is why she chose to adopt a baby with a living parent. But it says to me that she has all intention of maintaining links with his home country.
