all about Madonna

Pop diva Madonna arrived in Malawi today to adopt an African child and fund an orphan centre for 1000 children, many of whom lost parents to AIDS.
A fleet of cars and trucks specially flown in whisked the star and her entourage to an undisclosed location soon after their private plane landed at Lilongwe.
“She came straight from the plane, greeted the minister (of women and development) in the VIP lounge, then (went) straight to her car,”? said Adrina Michiela, a government spokeswoman.
Madonna’s trip has stoked high expectations in Malawi, an impoverished nation of 13 million people who are dependent on tobacco exports. The country, like others in the region, has been decimated socially and economically by AIDS.
Madonna has said she plans to spend at least $US3 million ($4 million) on programs to support orphans in Malawi and another $US1 million ($1.35 million) to fund a documentary about the plight of children in the country.
