Madonna Blogs About Experience In Malawi
Madonna is currently in Malawi to begin construction of the Raising Malawi Academy for Girls on Tuesday, but she is so overcome by emotion that she took to blogging about it.
She writes:
On my first visit to Malawi, I was devastated to meet child after child who had been orphaned by AIDS. Having lost my mother
at such a young age, I felt a close connection to these children. Their stories had touched my own.In a country of 14 million, a staggering one million children have been left alone with the responsibility of raising each other. I returned home knowing the future of Malawi was resting on the shoulders of these orphaned children, and I had to act.
So it is with tremendous joy that I return to Malawi to lay the first brick in the Raising Malawi Academy for Girls. By educating girls we will rebuild this community and raise this nation.
Our academy will educate, protect, and empower 450 young girls who are Malawi’s hope for the future. We will stop the brain drain happening in so many African nations—our students will receive an internationally competitive education while incorporating local values.
As an artist, I know the transformative power of art. Malawi’s culture will be preserved and passed on through the teaching of music, art, and dance in our academy. Once instilled with pride in their homeland, young women will understand the importance of remaining in Malawi and investing in their own communities.
I will share not only my own words of encouragement tomorrow at our ceremony, but also encouragement from women and men around the world who believe that the future of Malawi rests squarely on the shoulders of its girls.
As one Raising Malawi supporter wrote to Malawi's girls, “You carry the future of your country in your school bags.”
Having seen the determination in the eyes of these children, I know they have the strength to save Malawi—they just need to be given the tools. I am so grateful for the many people who have partnered with me to provide the resources needed, including Jeffrey Sachs, with whom I am launching a new global initiative to provide access to education for all children on all continents.
It is with hope for a bright future that I am here. Tomorrow the brick I will lay is not just the bedrock to a school—it is the foundation for our shared future.
Amazing!

Inspiring!!
Like Oprah.
Hm.
What about the boys?
After all these years she's still an inspiration and doing good. Long live the Queen of Pop! Wish more celebs would actually take the time to make a difference! And now I'm sure the comment section will be flooded by Jesereyne, Gary78, Phibes and the other Madonna hating trolls.
I am picturing her saying it in her fake English accent.
I love MADONNA!!
Funny how everything Madonna does is just wonderful, and for Madonna, everything in Malawi is just wonderful. But in Malawi it is ILLEGAL to be gay. Why don't either of you speak up about that?
These orphans need all the help they can find. I'm touched that someone who lost their own mother is coming full circle to try to ease orphan's heartache.
LONG LIVE THE QUEEN
i love madonna to death.
Inspiring!
omg, AIDS is so 80's. Get with the times Skeletor. It's all about CANCER BITCH!
I love Madonna too, however she should speak out about the extreme homophobia in Malawi.
No gay money to Malawi!
BTW, Madonna's new DVD of her Sticky & Sweet tour are on sale tomorrow. Yay!
I just saw the new Clash of the Titans movie ! Madonna, for once, was excellant in it. The role of Madusa was her breakout role, she was so convincing and looked every bit the part of Madusa. Well done Madonna !! This role is a role of a life time for Madonna, the role that will make everyone fianally realize what a wonderful actress she truly is.. You could tell she did her homework and new the part of Madusa inside and out, she really outdid herself. Well done Madonna, I will now forever think of you as Madusa!
Breaking News : Madonna was cast for the upcoming new movie Gremlins 3. She will play the lead role, Queen of the Gremlins ! No makeup or special effects required, the studio will save a bundle on CGI and makeup.
Mariah Carey's 'Precious' career
From MSNBC's Entertainment-Movies article, "Can Miley Cyrus build a movie career? Will she shine onscreen like Mariah Carey, or flop like Madonna?"
Mariah Carey's 'Precious' career
After the epic disaster that was "Glitter," everyone expected Mariah Carey's film career to follow the Tony Bennett trajectory. Bloody but unbowed, however, she pressed on with her acting career, to much better results. Not many people saw the indie "WiseGirls," in which Carey turned out a spunky and funny performance as a seen-it-all waitress in a mob-run restaurant.
But it was her attention-getting turn in last year's "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire," that established Carey as an actress to watch. Yes, much to-do was made over the fact that she had drab hair and wardrobe in the part, and eschewed makeup to the point where she was practically mustachioed, but that was just the surface.
What Carey brought to the role was a ferocity, a deadpan wit and an intensity that was the complete antithesis of her inert walk-through of "Glitter." She's been cast in Tyler Perry's upcoming all-star adaptation of Ntozake Shange's "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf," and it's going to be interesting to see where her film career takes her. It will be equally interesting to see if Cyrus will ever feel prepared to tackle a film as gritty and unglamorous as "Precious."

Re: jp1988 – After all these years Madonna is still a thieving, manipulative, lying kunt.. There you have it..
I LOVE THIS WOMEN
Re: CamelToe – LMFAO
Re: Gary78 –
u are so stupid
Are you mariahs people??
Madonna sends money to Malawi that she earns from her gay fan base, yet gays in Malawi are killed and treated like animals !! Madonna fans should think about that.. Oh, I forgot, Madonna fans can't think for themselves. They do whatever Vadge says.. What ever Madonna does is cool to them.. LAME & BRAINLESS !!
Re: jp1988 is a rotted kunt – You would know a lot about trolls, afterall you like Trolldonna !
Re: jp1988 – Lot of other celebrities do good work, the difference is they don't BRAG & BOAST about it every time they give a quarter to a homeless person on the street like Whoredonna does.. Some people give because it's the right thing to do with their millions of dollars, not to get praise and glory.. Like Slutdonna does.

Mariah Carey may be a diva, but her heart is always in the right place.
Mariah Carey was born March 27, 1970 in Huntington, Long Island, New York. She is an American singer, songwriter, record producer and actress. She is born under the independent and leadership sign of Aries, which makes her a person with purpose who is hugely, dedicated to achieving her goals in life.
Charity Biography - Mariah became associated with the Fresh Air Fund in the early 1990s, and is the co-founder of Camp Mariah. Camp Mariah is located in Fishkill, New York and helps 300 inner-city youths to explore educational paths and career options whilst enjoying pleasurable camp activities. Mariah is known all over the country for her work with the Make-a-Wish Foundation in granting the desires of children who are battling life-threatening illnesses. Mariah is also recognized as a Congressional Horizon Award recipient for her humanitarian work and her efforts to aid underprivileged children from around the world. Mariah has raised millions of dollars for charities by singing in countless benefit concerts that include VH1's 1998 Divas Live, A Tribute to Heroes Fundraiser for victims of 9/11, At Home for the Holidays on CBS, Hurricane Katrina relief telethon Shelter from the Storm and Haiti's earthquake relief efforts. True to her Arian sign, she is task and success orientated - simply, she gets things done
Re: mvp=most vile person – Nope, just someone who likes to talk shit to your dumb ass. I just know that you, and other Madonna fans hate Mariah, so what better way to piss your dumb asses off.. HAHHAHAHA Have a blessid ass day you rotted kunt !!
Re: Gary78 –
DOES MARIAH PAY U TO POST THIS SHIT??
Very moving - thanks, Madonna. And how cool of her to get involved with Jeffrey Sachs, who developed an amazing program to tackle poverty, education, and health in 79 villages around Africa (the Millenium Project).
Re: Gary78 – stop sucking on Mariah's silocone filled tits your fucking psychopath. Seriously do you not take your meds before you come on here to rant about Madonna every fucking day?
Madonna's Icky & Sweaty tour grossed so much money because everyone wanted to say "I saw Madonna" before her old mummy lookin ass dies ! Just like every one flocked to see Michael Jackson..
Really happy to see Madonna doing something useful. We can only hope that she's doing this sincerely and not for publicity. Heaven knows she'll never be popular again. She's never really had any great success with her failed "music" and "acting" careers, so I wish humanitarian efforts work out for her.
as an aritst???? please!!!! you buy your music and put your name on it like sooo many others…you have to get credit for keeping up with the times and constantly changing if that's an artist then so be it…Picasso, Renoir those are artist..you my dear are a
great entertainer!!!!
Re: xman66 – She is a thief, who has stolen every "reinvention" she has ever had. She is also like Beyonce a liar ! She pays music writers to put her name on songs she never even took the time to colaborate on.. She is a complete sham personal life and public..
Re: jesyrene – I love your posts.. So funny and true !
Good for her. There also happens to be a lot of orphans here in the US that have lost their mothers, just like Madonna. I understand the millions of orphans in other ravaged countries, but there are plenty here in the US to choose from.
DIS WHORIAH FAN IS SO LOW Gary78=jesyreneWHO pretend to be GAGASFAN=madonna is shit WHO pretend to be BRITS FAN
Re: Gary78 –
You have so much time on your hands, its quite sad.
Good for Madonna
If the world weren't paying attention, would she do this?
Re: mvp – Post #36 WHAT?!?!?!?! When did the Europeans start letting their pet chimpanzees play on the computer?!?! Please learn to speak/type English before posting anything else.. I can't really argue with a chimp.. You poor thing !
Re: www.someonehad2.com – No she would not ! Fa*g Hagdonna is an EGOMANIAC everything she does is to prop up her fragile ego. She needs to be told and shown many times a day "how great" she is. She is a lil girl inside and is trying to make up for losing her mother with adoration from brainless fans and material things !
Thats what I am talking about! For more positivity and beauty of Africa, there is this transsexual from Kenya who has a hot positive blog about beauty of Africa etc. I check it from time to time, its called LAMUTAMU
she seems fake like her ugly face
Re: giorgio85 – Felch my hole !!
God Bless her Heart
Re: JasonDiggy – lol seriously? What part of the 1,000,000.00 kids where orphaned to AIDS dont you understand? This is not a political strategy this is aid in saving the future of helpless souls, wake up. Malawi is not alone in this and any help given to any of our world brothers and sisters should come without conditions.
Re: Gary78 – idiot
Re: Gary78 – did u forget glitter lol
Re: jesyrene – Wow! if what Madonna has been doing is failing I know quite a few wannabes that would love to fail like her. What does this comment have to do with her Malawi charity?
By EDUCATING Malawi's children, homophobia will be eliminated. Its not like Madonna is advocating a fundamentalist Christian curriculum… This money isnt going to the government. It is going directly to change the lives and the minds of the young. That is MORE powerful than a bunch of words and protest signs.
Gosh, Madonna keeps getting scarier and scarier looking. She looks like a drag queen for god's sake!
I really hope the school does well, and doesn't have opposition within the Country…finally, Madonna is doing something that isn't selfish…
Gary78 just confirmed what I already suspected. Mariah fans are lunatics and stupid.

Re: madonna is shit – totally agree. and love your picture of the queen of pop britney spears. this tired old fucking hag bloggin every single moment she thinks will make people like her. she cares nothing about anyone else. all she wants is to be seen as this great lovely person. she is so lethat and with no talent forced herself to outshine other people with bully tactics. has no creativity what soever and lies about writing songs and lyrics. she only cares about making sure her face looks like a pasty, white, oiled up streched mess. die you miserable old bitch
inspiring !!i just have to stand up fpor this lady ;ppp its incredible what she can do. the most hard worker of hollywood and the most charity celebrity, congrats madonna. and u fly to malawi to check everything about ur project and shes spend her own money and she takes her kids with her ;p well done. WELL DONE ;PPP

Re: JasonDiggy – she spoke about that but what she can really do about that? they are very poor. very old mind;p they dont know what is be gay actually. im sure madonna will discuss that with them. but she needs to take it easy
Re: missnasty – fuk of. loser jealous??? madonna is #1 the most charity celebrity. u love to talk the talk,but how many of u walk the walk ??? get a life and act now. looks at what shes doing?more than all of us. why dont u critized someone who does nothing about this? poverty is terrible and theres ppl dying. god bless her heart and her genious mind
she beats the beatles queen of pop to queen of music. well done.
Re: madonna is shit – britney is a fucking loser that cant even tak e care of her kids. she is insane. and say bye bye to her career loser. what she does for help? absolutely nothing!!! get a fucking life loser. who cares about u or brit?? get a life.jealous much? noone can compete with madonna. waste ur time on somebody else bitch
britney spears the queen of crazy ppl. ahahah theres noone as crazy as brit.lol poor brit delusional. shes a joke dear. nly madonna helped her. jesus , britney who??? ohh yeah the one that her fans left her concert .lol
Re: MadonnaLive – ahahhah "bless her heart" for real fool? i'm not jealous of someone over twice my age whos had their arse pulled over their head and looks very much like she has done,no, sweetie. i'm jealous of shakira, gwen stefani, britney, rihanna and mariahs looks but i love all of them. you are such a loser sweetie. ps lourdes is that you? probably not though because lourdes probably hates madonna for stealing all her boyfriends. get a life you weirdo
Re: MadonnaLive – madonna helped britney?u fucking deluded bitch that is out right shit. madonna jumped on brit on stage and dueted with her when her piece of shit fucking sad career was down the toilet and britney's was at it's absolute peak. she is a scavenger of carcesses and takes what she can and then fucks off. she stayed completely away from brit during her breakdown and didn't offer her any help whatsoever. she got involved with brit for one reason only: to leech off her sex appeal(sumthing vadgedonna never had) and to booast her dead career. and once she'd sucked everything out she could she threw her out with the trash. that is who madonna is and what she does. you need to get fucking real you twat
i'm glad she's doing this…I think it's great for the country….do I think her hearts in it HELL NO….
I know a lot of people are going to say that i'm being judgemental. I just don't understand why these "american" stars can't help with in their own country as much as other countries. There are a lot of orphans and poor here in the US
MAN IN A WIG! MAN IN A WIG!
Apparently Gary78 has a whole lot of time on his hands….cracks me up.
Simma down now, you're looking a bit foolish.
Isn't it funny how much shit you can shovel when you have money? If she had not made it big she would be a welfare queen complaining about minorities screwing the system and holed up in a trailer park chain smoking basics and drinking Rikaloff vodka from a coffee mug.
Love Madonna!!!!
Re: Brainbug – LOL! THAT'S FUNNY!
well done Madonna!
Re: Gary78 – Dude! You must have a very sad life for you to be channeling such negativity to such a noble cause. Why don't you do somehting for yourself and get happy! Find something to do! Bashing on the most infamous woman alive will not change things. Madonna is who she is and you can't take that away from her, whether you sit here and cut and paste the same post on every madonna blog will not change things. Got that? She is still the most successful woman alive! She has a brand new $120 contract commencing with live nation! So get use to it, she is here to stay and she will be around for another ten years at least contractually, and longer because her fans wanted that way! So if you don't like her, don't post, go to the gym or something, dude ur over 30! Get a life! BTW, nice pic of ms. Piggy you have on ur profile, I luv me some piggy!
Re: Gary78 – Gays have it bad everywhere dum ass! Why choose Malawi? Cause it fits your daily sad agenda! Or is it because it gives you another chance to rant negativity about the most famous woman in the world! Get educated Fucktard! Go to school and get off the computer! BTW, nice pic of Ms. Piggy on ur profile, I love it when she wares mini skirts, u can totally appreciate her loin of pork!
Re: mvp – Unfortunately she doesn't, he is just this pathetic and sad!
Re: jesyrene – Really? Her career was not successful? Wow! Talk about jadedness! I don't think I even need to continue with you! BTW, what have u accomplished with your life?
Re: Gary78 – At least she is doing something to help man kind! Mimoo is three fat girls in one and is just eating whatever little money she has left in her fat couch! What is she doing for humanity? NOTHING! She is helping her self and the three fat girls in her! BTW, nice pic of Ms. Piggy on ur profile, I love me baby back ribs!

Really? What do u look like? Must be worst than a man in a wig since you wont show ur face!
Re: Baron von Fleck –
Instead, she is swimming in money and ur in the trailer park! See how life isn't fair! Oh well!
Intelligent readers all hope that the Malawian Ministry of the Interior does not discover that Mad Donna's Brazilian manservant is GAY, and arrest and imprison him on trumped up charges. Manly Donna HAS warned him about making eyes at any cute young fellows.
Re: amricanboy – What do you look like fucktard? Typical Madonna fan.. Flamboyant gay in a baby tee? Living in a one bedrooom with 3 room mates, clubbing like Lindsey Lohan..
I know she is doing good, but every time you see her or her daughter out, they have so much designer stuff on…it must cost a fortune!!!! To think of what she could do further if she just autographed that stuff and auctioned it off. She has the power to do SO much more as a person of her popularity that most of us can't do, even when we donate and get involved. All that designer stuff is just SO much money out the window….
Re: Phibes – LMAO.. I fucking love how you start off each post with "Intelligent Readers". Cracks my ass up..
Re: Gary78 – HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Do you have any idea how stupid you sound and how much of a fool your making out of yourself?! I'm laughing my ass off over here laughing at how pathetic one person can be!!! Jeez!
Just because your a Mariah Carey obsessed physcopath it doesn't mean you should hate on someone that is better than her, and do you really think Madonna or her fans are going to listen to a word you write? NO! Because we know that Madonna is and always will be an amazing person, not only is she the most successful female artist in the world, phenomenally beautiful and outrageously talented, but she actually CARES about other people unlike most stuck up celebrities, she's actually changing lives, and for the better!
And to be honest, I and everyone else that has read your comments seriously recommend you commit yourself to a mental hospital because you have to be insane to spend your life waiting for Madonna related posts just to comment on them with a load of bullshit.
If you hate Madonna, keep it to yourself, nobody cares for your opinion, and trust me, Mariah Carey wouldn't be proud to know she has fans like you, you think your helping her but your just EMBARASSING!
Re: SashaMadonna – hahaha I'm laughing at you because you don't know the difference between your, and you're . You are the kind of Madonna fan I'm talking about.. "madonna is such a great person", BRAINWASHED !!! You are too stupid to see who Madonna really is !
Re: SashaMadonna –
What makes you think you're so in the know that you can safely say most "other stuck up celebrities" don't care (about helping others)? Maybe some of those celebrities of which you think you can speak for don't feel the need to advertise or (get their publicists to) blog every time they do something special for someone.
Re: Gary78 – Many thanks! And as for making oneself sound stupid (comment 91), most of Mad Donna's apologists cannot form coherent thoughts or sentences. Just look at MadonnaLive and madonna n1. ajajajajajajajajajajaj They should both resume taking their prescription medication in the proper dosage at appropriate times. ajajajajajaja
One million orphans in Malawi. Madonna is giving 450 a leg up; so only
999,999,550 to go.
Re: SashaMadonna – Lot of other celebrities do good work, the difference is they don't BRAG & BOAST about it every time they give a quarter to a homeless person on the street like Whoredonna does.. Some people give because it's the right thing to do with their millions of dollars, not to get praise and glory.. Like Slutdonna does.

Re: amricanboy – I doubt that. My apartment overlooks the Vegas strip, I have a ranch in central Texas, and a warehouse apartment in downtown Chicago. I retired at 32 and I probably spend more money in one day than you make in a month. For me, life is "la place de san souci." Now, run along Scooter, those MacDonaldland fries don't make themselves.
