Madonna’s highly publicized friendship with baseball player Alex Rodriguez, just made more news. It seems he has made a very substantial donation for her charity Raising Malawi.  Her charity helps Malawi’s over one million orphans obtain access to food, education and medical care.  If true, its a truly generous gift and will be put to very good use. I wonder what A-Rod’s estranged wife feels about this?   Hopefully, he’ll be as generous with her during their divorce.

New York Daily News is reporting that an unnamed source revealed:

“They’ve asked him for a million dollars, and I hear he’s agreed to give at least $500,000.”

The gossip last couple of months was that he and Madonna were having an affair. She denied the allegations adamantly stating that she and husband Guy Ritchie are still happily married.

Philippe van den Bossche director of Raising Malawai says:

“Obviously when you’re talking about donors, these are private things. I would never reveal information about any donor.” He adds: “We’re building a girls’ school, which will bring the best resources from around the world with a specific focus on medicine, education and the law.” It will be based on the British system — as is taught in private schools Madonna’s children Lourdes and Rocco attend. … We want programs that can be copied in developing countries throughout the world. Not just a celebrity one-off.”
