流行天后瑪丹娜在馬拉威親自下田種辣木樹。
她參加了一場為全女子學校動工舉行的奠基儀式，並親手種下一棵辣木樹。
這所學校由瑪丹娜出資興建，位於這個貧困的非洲國家——她曾在此收養了兩名孩子。
根據英國《電訊報》報導，身穿黑色細帶高跟鞋與深色夏裝的51歲流行天后，手持鐵鏟挖土，種下了一棵辣木樹（Moringa tree），作為價值1,500萬美元的「為馬拉威女孩而建學院（Raising Malawi Academy for Girls）」建設活動的開場儀式之一。
瑪丹娜的女兒 Lourdes 也參與了這次行程，與她的三個孩子一同在週日陪母親前往馬拉威。
「如果這所學校成功——願上帝保佑它會成功——我們將在不僅馬拉威，甚至世界其他地區複製這個模式，」瑪丹娜在典禮上說道。
該校預計於2011年開學，未來的校長表示，這所學校將專注於科學與數學教育。
「瑪丹娜無法接受馬拉威女性無法學習科學、成為醫生的現實，」即將上任的校長 Anjimile Mtila-Opponyo 對《電訊報》表示。

The Material Mom got her hands dirty in Malawi.
Madonna planted a tree during a ground breaking ceremony for the all-girls school she is funding in the impoverished African country where she adopted two of children.
Sporting black strappy heels and a dark-colored summer dress, the 51-year-old singing icon dug into the soil with a shovel and helped plant a Moringa tree as part of the kick off festivities for the construction of the $15 million Raising Malawi Academy for Girls, according to the British newspaper The Telegraph.
Madonna had the help of Lourdes, who, along with the singer’s three other children, accompanied her mom to the country on Sunday.
“If this school is a success — with God willing it will be — we will replicate it not only in Malawi but in other parts of the world as well,” Madonna said at the ceremony.
The school is set to open in 2011 and will focus on science and math, its future principal told the paper.
“Madonna did not accept that Malawian women would not study science to become doctors,” soon-to-be principal Anjimile Mtila-Opponyo told the Telegraph.
