Madonna arrives in Malawi to lay foundation for girls school

Pop queen Madonna has arrived in Malawi on behalf of her charity, Raising Malawi, to lay the foundation stone for the 15-million-dollar school she is building there.

The 51-year-old singer arrived on Oct 25 along with her four kids Lourdes, Mercy, Rocco and David.

The official said Madonna would take part in a groundbreaking ceremony for the girls school on Monday, reports the Telegraph.

The Material Girl adopted the Malawian-born Mercy this year after she adopted David in 2008.

Madonna''s Raising Malawi, a charity founded in 2006 when she first visited the country, helps feed, educate and provide medical care for some of Malawi''s orphans.
