Madonna Lays First Brick At Her School In Malawi!

Madonna’s daughter Mercy was right by her side today as the pop star laid the first brick for her new $15 million Raising Malawi Academy for Girls, slated to open next year. Lourdes is also on the trip with the Material Mom.

The singer said as she placed the brick with the inscription “DARE TO DREAM” that it had long been her dream to build a girls’ school.
The 15 million dollar Raising Malawi Academy for Girls is scheduled to open in 2011, and will help 500 orphaned children.

Daughters Lourdes and Mercy accompanied the pop diva to the ceremony.
Madonna arrived in Malawi on Monday day for a week-long charity tour to inspect projects she established since her first visit in 2006.
She has adopted two Malawian children, David Banda and Mercy Chifundo James, both four. She also funds six Malawian orphanages, which feed, clothe and educate 25,000 children
