This proved true with Madonna and her plans to open a school in Malawi under her Raising Malawi foundation. It is being reported that the foundation isn’t doing well and therefore will not move forward with building the Raising Malawi Academy for Girls.
Sad.
Co-founder Michael Berg told press, "A thoughtful decision has been made to discontinue plans for the Raising Malawi Academy for Girls, as it was originally conceived." Madonna added, "There's a real education crisis in Malawi. Sixty-seven percent of girls don't go to secondary school, and this is simply unacceptable. Our team is going to work hard to address this in every way we can. While I'm proud of [other] accomplishments, I'm frustrated that our education work has not moved forward in a faster way."
Same here! Hopefully some big-shot will come along to try and help fund the project. Come on Madonna! Call on some of those wealthy friends of yours....we know you have plenty!
