MADONNA NEEDS MONEY FOR MALAWI GIRLS

Madonna

Pop singing star Madonna is taking a break from her world tour to ask fans to help her build a all girls school in Malawi. The legend has filmed a brief video message about the Raising Malawi Academy for Girls and it is posted on her website. Madonna writes, "After witnessing the potential of Malawi’s girls firsthand, I made it my mission to give them an opportunity to become their personal best." In the video, shot in a hotel room, the singer says, "There are very few girls in Africa in general who are encouraged or allowed to go to secondary schools so, after spending a lot of time there, I realized that one of the ways I could help was to build a girls school. "I would really be grateful if you would get involved and help me in any way you can with donations, spreading the word, visiting my website, reading about the progress we’ve made so far. "Please visit our website. I would appreciate any help you could give us."
