			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj255/kgseymour/madonna050807_468x563.jpg" align="right" height="373" width="309" /><strong>Madonna </strong>adopted her son, David, from an orphanage in Malawi (where his father left him after his mother died in childbirth), and while she gave him a better life, she wasn&#8217;t done helping the people of that country. Her plans to build a girls&#8217; school in Malawi are moving forward, with a<a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/celebritynews/1955765/Madonna-to-build-school-in-Malawi.html" target="_blank"> task force of four prominent Malawians already on board</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ecorazzi.com/2008/05/14/its-official-madonna-to-build-girls-school-in-malawi/" target="_blank"><strong>Madonna</strong>&#8217;s project</a> is said to be on par with what <strong>Oprah Winfrey </strong>has done in South Africa. It will most definitely be a multi-million dollar project, but I don&#8217;t think any of us have any doubts as to whether <strong>Madge</strong> can foot the bill.</p>
<p>The pop superstar has been involved in other Malawian projects, as well. She <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7366432.stm" target="_blank">produced and narrated a documentary</a> called <em>I Am Because We Are</em>, highlighting the plight of several Malawian children whose mothers died of AIDS. The film was shown at the Tribeca Film Festival, where <strong>Madonna</strong> said the documentary carried the message that &#8220;We are responsible for each other and that if we can help in any way, shape or form, we should.&#8221;</p>
<p>Regarding <strong>Madonna</strong>&#8217;s adoption of Malawian-born David Banda, the Malawian courts are expected to rule in her favor <em>today</em>.</p>
