[lastfm]Madonna[/lastfm] laid the first brick of her new girls academy near Malawi's capital yesterday. The inscription on the first brick read: "dare to dream." Madonna said she hopes the girls attending the academy will go on to become doctors, lawyers and future leaders of their country. The $15 million Raising Malawi Academy for Girls is scheduled to open in 2011 and will assist 500 orphaned children. Madonna also launched a telecommunications and fundraising initiative that aims to provide education to children around the world by offering secondary school scholarships and by supporting schools in developing countries in accessing the Internet. Madonna has adopted two Malawian children. She also funds six Malawian orphanages.
