How does Madonna play into all of this?  Aside from recently adopting a Malwaian baby, she has started a project called Raising Malawi.  A bold project which aims to improve health care, end hunger, improve nutrition,  and support the economy.

So far they claim to have given life saving treatment and aid to over 75,000 children.  75,000 children who within the next couple decades will have already had 2-3 children themselves.

Madonna and her reckless disregard for the future of Africa and the planet may cost us dearly.  I just hope that she can be stopped before it is too late.
