Madonna Abandons Malawi School Plans


Madonna has abandoned her plans to build a girls school in Malawi after her management team squandered $3.8 million in donations.

Madonna has abandoned plans to build her boarding school for girls in the impoverished African country of Malawi after discovering that team she installed to build it had squandered millions.

“Despite $3.8 million having been spent by the previous management team, the project has not broken ground, there was no title to the land and there was, over all, a startling lack of accountability on the part of the management team in Malawi and the management team in the United States,” Trevor Neilson, a philanthropic advisor hired by Madonna, told the New York Times. “We have yet to determine exactly what happened to all of that $3.8 million. We have not accounted for all the funds that were used.”


Neilson’s investigation into the mismanagement of funds revealed that millions were spent on lavish salaries, free housing, a golf club membership and a car and driver for the director, Philippe van den Bossche.

“A thoughtful decision has been made to discontinue plans for the Raising Malawi Academy for Girls, as it was originally conceived,” Michael Berg, a co-director of the Kabbalah Centre and the co-founder of Raising Malawi, said Thursday.

“I’m frustrated that our education work has not moved forward in a faster way,” Madonna said in a statement.

Proof positive that Madonna only does things to garner attention. She could have build that school with her own money. She had people removed from their land to build this school, now she can't follow through. Humanitarian work is not for the vain of heart. She's obviously not built for that life. It's a shame because she could have made such an impact, but thankfully there are still those committed to developing Malawi.

black men betta learn from these white women: they are soldiers for their race. They are going into Africa to have children, adopt children, supposedly to help children, but the children are suffering due to the IMF, World Bank, Rothschilds, colonialism and black devil rulers. Madonna ain't no saint, she is a soldier for the white race helping to move in on the resources.
