Madonna builds a school for the underprivileged.
Madonna is building a multi-million dollar
girls' school.
In the village of Chinkhota, Malawi, outside of
the capital of Lilongwe, the school
will hold 500
students.
It's scheduled to be ready in 2 years,
at a cost of $15 million.
The AIDS epidemic left a million
children orphaned there. There are 13 million impoverished
people in Malawi.
The singer has adopted 2 children
from Malawi. Now, she's giving
opportunities back to other
underprivileged girls in the region.
"Growing up in a privileged life, I took
education for granted, but coming to Malawi
taught me lots of things. I have learned
to appreciate what life gives," Madonna said.
She plans to build other schools in the
surrounding African districts. Also, she wants to construct schools in
other countries as well.
