Malawians refuse to leave their homes for Madonna's school

200 villagers in Malawi are refusing to leave their homes to make room for Madonna's School for Girls!


Even though Madge paid the families $115,000 for taking over the land and the government has offered them government land, the Malawi villagers want to stay put!

Headman Binson Chinkhota has tried to explain to them that the $15 million school will be beneficial to their children, but the 200 Malawians don't seem to be budging.

Assuming all goes well, her planned $15 million institution will enroll approximately 500 poverty-stricken girls beginning in 2012.

Very commendable stuff she's doing. If only the govt can find her somewhere else instead of displacing home owners...
