Thread Name: BS: A little Malawi boy and Madonna
Subject: RE: BS: A little Malawi boy and Madonna
As a contrast a story was published in one of the UK sunday papers, I think the Mail, of a Malawi couple resident in Britain who are trying to adopt their neice, a malawi orphan both of whose parents died of Aids. They are faced with a wait of two years while the child is "cared" for by a grandmother who can do little else but feed the child as she has to spend most of her day working. The child is left sitting alone all day in her grandmother's yard.
Needless to say the couple, although by the account are hard working, do not have three million to give to the Malawi government.
