Madonna and kids visit girls' school in Malawi
Published Tuesday October 27th, 2009
An official for Madonna's African charity says the star is in Malawi to visit the girls school she is building in the impoverished country where she adopted two children.
The official who could not be named because he was not authorized to speak on the matter said Madonna arrived Sunday.
The 51-year-old celebrity was accompanied by her four children -- her daughters Lourdes and Mercy, and sons Rocco and David.
Madonna adopted the Malawian-born Mercy this year after she adopted David in 2008.
The official said Madonna took part in a groundbreaking ceremony for the girls school yesterday.
Madonna's Raising Malawi charity helps care for some of the country's one million orphans.
