July 15: Never heard of Malawi? You might be surprised at its celebrity status

If you've ever given into celebrity gossip shows or magazines, you recognize Malawi because Madonna's star power gave it some press.

The musician not only has opened an orphanage in a village outside of the capital, but she's apparently also adopted a baby boy named David. An article in Time Magazine last year talks about her efforts: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1223372,00.html

Macy Gray, Mena Suvari and Constance Zimmer support an organization called H.E.L.P Malawi www.helpmalawichildren.com and Paul Newman helped found Wilderness Safaris www.wilderness-safaris.com which operates camps and safaris in Malawi.

And you thought you'd never heard of it. Keep your eyes peeled and ears open – this is just the beginning.
