Hugs ... Madonna at an orphanage in Malawi MALAWI’S president has savaged Madonna, accusing her of making “the poor dance for her”. Joyce Banda hit out as the star visited the tiny African state this week. Madonna set up Raising Malawi after adopting son David Banda there in 2006 and daughter Mercy James in 2009. Furious ... President Banda But Mrs Banda claimed the singer reneged of a pledge to build a £10million academy for girls and opted to build 10 schools — without consulting officials. She said: “Where are the ten schools she has built? “In some cases she just renovated an already existing block. No one should just come here and say ‘I’m building a classroom’ without needs assessment. “It is an insult to the people.” But Trevor Neilson, who manages Madonna’s charitable work, last night provided details of the schools built by her project. He added: “Every single one of the schools is a free standing structure.” The Who’s That Girl si

  NEW YORK - Pop star Madonna and Sotheby’s announced Wednesday the auction of a Cubist masterpiece by French artist Fernand Leger to support an education project for girls in Afghanistan and Pakistan. TRENDING DISCUSSIONS The painting “Trois femmes a la table rouge,” estimated at $5-7 million, will go on sale in New York on May 7, with proceeds going to the Ray of Light Foundation. Madonna, who has been made enormously wealthy through her pop singing career, said she wanted to help “countries where female education is rare or non-existent. I cannot accept a world where women or girls are wounded, shot or killed for either going to school or teaching in girls’ schools.” “I want to trade something valuable for something invaluable - educating girls,” she said in a statement. Madonna has owned the painting since 1990. It goes on view in Hong Kong and London before returning to New York in time to join the spring evening sale of Impressionist and modern art.

Sotheby’s is honored to announce that it will auction a painting from Madonna’s collection in its Impressionist & Modern Art Evening Sale on 7 May 2013. Proceeds from the sale of Fernand Leger’s Trois femmes à la table rouge, which is estimated at $5/7 million, will benefit the Ray of Light Foundation to support girls’ education projects in Afghanistan, Pakistan and other countries. In Afghanistan, just 12% of women are literate and it is estimated that only seven girls to every ten boys are able to attend school. In Pakistan, which has one of the largest populations of out-of-school children in the world, it is estimated that there are more than 3 million primary school-aged girls unable to attend school. Madonna commented… I have a great passion for art and a great passion for education. In conjunction with Sotheby’s, I would like to share these two passions. I have chosen to auction this painting called Three Women by Fernand Leger and donate all the proceeds to support

Local residents say that U.S. pop diva Madonna has arrived in Malawi for an unannounced visit. An aviation department worker said Madonna's jet landed at the Kamuzu International Airport in the country's capital, Lilongwe, early Monday. It was not clear if she came with her children. The aviation worker spoke on condition of anonymity because he did not have permission to speak to the press. The singer has previously stayed at the exclusive Kumbali Lodge in Lilongwe, and an employee there says all other guests were checked out. The employee spoke on condition of anonymity because he didn't have permission to speak to the press on the matter. Madonna adopted two children from Malawi.
