RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) - Madonna is following a philanthropical
trip to Africa with a stop in Rio to discuss social projects.
Rio de Janeiro Gov. Sergio Cabral says the 51 year old pop star
is looking for ways to lend her help.
Cabral told the Estado de S. Paulo newspaper Monday that he will
meet with Madonna along with Brazilian billionaire Eike Batista to
talk about possible partnerships.
The singer is expected to visit several poor communities. Local
news media say she also will meet with Brazilian first lady Marisa
Leticia.
Last month, Madonna spent nearly a week in the southern African
country of Malawi, where she broke ground on a $15 million academy
for girls and visited the orphanage that cared for her son David
before she adopted him.
