MADONNA BLOGS ABOUT MALAWI

The first time I have been to Africa was 12 years ago. I remember how I felt helpless and came back to France heartbroken. After that I have made more than 200 trips in about a 10 years period. It was a life changing experience.



I did my best to make a small contribution in each and every one of those trips. So I understand how someone like Madonna who already was a mother felt when she first went to Africa. And I know how important it is to get the local communities involved.

Today in order to raise more awareness Madonna has blogged at the Huffington Post.

'This week, my family and I are in Malawi to attend the ground breaking ceremony for Raising Malawi Academy for Girls. I am making a straightforward request. I'm writing to urge you to join me in saving the lives of some of the world's most vulnerable children. And I'm asking you to do it right away. Raising Malawi, the organization I co-founded in 2006, is dedicated to ending the poverty and hardship endured by Malawi's one million orphans. By donating to Raising Malawi, you can literally transform the future for an entire generation. To encourage your involvement, I've pledged $100,000 to match your contributions dollar-for-dollar.'
