Madonna is pleading to the public on behalf of the underprivileged children in Malawi and though she’s already adopted two of them—son David and daughter Mercy—into her family, she’s asking for help to save the rest. The queen of the music industry is currently visiting the country with her family to attend the groundbreaking ceremony for her school, Raising Malawi Academy for Girls. She has pledged $100,000 to match the public’s contributions dollar-for-dollar towards Raising Malawi, an organization she co-founded in 2006 to end poverty and hardship the Malawi’s one million orphans have had to endure. “Something about Malawi's children connected with me and their hardships were too much for me to ignore,” she writes on The Huffington Post.
