Madonna takes son back to visit orphanage

Madonna and her four children today visited the orphanage that looked after one of her sons before his adoption in 2008.

Home of Hope Child Care Centre director Lucy Chipeta said she showed Madonna and her son David his cot during their visit to the orphanage near the Zambian border.

Siblings Lourdes, Rocco and Mercy – who was adopted from Malawi earlier this year – joined their mother on the tour of the orphanage, where Madonna’s Raising Malawi charity has built several new buildings.

Madonna and her children arrived in Malawi on Sunday. On Monday she broke ground at her charity’s new school for girls.

About 500,000 children in this nation of 12 million have lost a parent to Aids.
