Madonna Putting Orphans Lives In Danger?

No matter what Madonna does these days, she just can't win. The Daily Mail is reporting that the pop queen has put the lives of Malawian orphaned children in danger by making remarks in a recent TV interview with Newsnight.

Madonna revealed that David was in an appalling state when she first saw the toddler last month. The boy, she claimed, was suffering "the most horrendous diaper rash I've ever seen." This is upsetting to the founders of the orphanage because now donations may be dropped. In a letter written by one of the orphanage's founders Rosemary Lowdon to BBC, Lowdon wrote, "We have been very disturbed that the Home of Hope appears to have been described as a place where children are not cared for properly." "We must stress that no money has come to the Home as a result of this adoption, and the financial resources at the Home are very limited."

"We are desperately worried that people will cease donating as a result of Madonna's comments, and that this will make a difference between life and death for some of the most vulnerable children at the Home."

Lowdon who helped set up the orphanage with her husband in 1998 and who raised £20,000 to help run it last year, is in Malawi visiting the institution where David Banda, the 13-month-old baby Madonna has adopted, was cared for. Mrs. Lowdon took a copy of the abbreviated Newsnight interview to show to the Reverend Thomson Chipeta, the 77-yearold Presbyterian ministers who run the orphanage. "He was very shaken, he was very upset," said Mrs. Lowdon, 41."He said to me, 'Why is she saying this?'"

At this point we advise for Madonna to not speak because its obvious whatever she says is going to be taken out of proportion. People are forgetting the fact that she is actually saving a child’s life and that’s what is most important.
