MADONNA on Monday launched a US$60,000 fundraiser to support her work with children in Malawi, and had already raised more than US$10,000 in the first 24 hours. The “Rebel Heart” singer, who has adopted four children from the African nation in the past 10 years, said 100 percent of every contribution would go directly to her Raising Malawi founda- tion’s rural orphanage, Home of Hope. She launched the fundraiser, which will run throughout August, through her Facebook page to mark her 60th birthday on Aug. 16. “For my birthday, I can think of no better gift than connecting my global family with this beautiful country and the children who need our help most,” Madonna wrote. “Every dollar raised will go directly to meals, schools, uniforms and healthcare,” she added. According to her website, more than 200 people had contributed almost US$11,000 of the US$60,000 target on the first days of the project’s launch. Madonna established the non-profit Raising Malawi in 2006 to provide health and education programs, particularly for girls. In 2017 she adopted 4-year- old twin Malawi girls, Esther and Stella, and opened a children’s hospital in the country’s second-biggest city, Blantyre. Madonna’s family also includes Malawi children David Banda and Mercy James, and biological children Lourdes and Rocco from her previous relation- ships.

He also wrote and directed numer- ous episodes of the show, which ran from 1972 to 1983, and later appeared in other TV series, plays and films. In 2004, he was nominated for the Acad- emy Award for best supporting actor in “The Aviator.” Alda said he decided to go public with his diagnosis because he wanted to tell people he was optimistic about his future. “You still have things you can do.” (SD-Agencies) CONTACT US AT: 8351-9409, [email protected] Thursday August 2, 2018 16 ❘ ENTERTAINMENT ANNA WINTOUR, the influential editor of Vogue magazine, is remaining in her job “indefinitely,” publisher Conde Nast said Tuesday, refuting rumors that she was on her way out after 30 years. “Anna Wintour is an incredibly tal- ented and creative leader whose influence is beyond measure.
