The U.S. pop diva, who sparked controversy last year when she decided to adopt one-year-old David Banda, chatted to local farmers and toured corn fields with aid workers, wearing dark glasses and knee-high boots and holding hands with her daughter, Lourdes. Madonna is expected to take Banda to see his father on Tuesday at the Home of Hope orphanage where he lived before he left Malawi. But her spokeswoman denied media reports she plans to adopt a second child."The government of Malawi salutes Madonna for coming back with the child for the father to see him," Minister of Information, Patricia Kaliati, told Reuters.
Yohane Banda, David's father, has complained he has no access to Madonna and struggles to get information about his son, who was placed in an orphanage after his mother died.
Madonna is paying for a new clinic to be built in the village of Gumulira and is supporting efforts by aid groups to help improve food security and education there.
Methinks Yohane is looking for some paper. How come you didn't care about the kid back when you threw his ass into the orphanage? Huh? HUH? Answer me! Jesus, I need to disembark from my high horse. Anyway, that's cool that she's trying to do her part. Think about it, what helped society more - her "Sex" book or building clinics in poor places? She's still a cold, unforgiving hagatha, but at least jewish mysticism is making her a little more magnanimous.

You know Diva, this might be hard for you to imagine but give it a whirl. There are places in this world were people are so damned poor that they can't afford milk. One of those people is David's daddy. So when the only source of milk, David's mama died, he had to give the kid to the orphanage to make sure he got fed. Kapeesh.

Madonna is on the computer as we speak ordering another baby off amazon.
