Moved by Madonna

Hard as it is to believe, almost no one in Malawi knows that Madonna has recently divorced, or been linked romantically to a Brazilian model less than half her age. They've never seen her documentary film "I Am Because We Are" about poverty in Malawi, nor seen the concerts where the country's grim AIDS statistics flash on screens while she performs.

Here, she's simply known as the only wealthy person in the world who has cared about the plight of the hundreds of thousands of AIDS orphans struggling to survive in one of the world's poorest countries.

Yes, Malawians feel that she won her court case because of her status. She's a famous person, she's got the money, and she doesn't let anyone get in her way. But she's spending a lot of money here with her charity Raising Malawi, and they think it's OK that she used her influence to bring another child into her home.
