6. Actually, yes I do.
I work in the non profit world and have extensive experience dealing with people who regularly contribute millions of dollars to all kinds of causes both nationally and internationally.

I have worked with celebrities who sit on the boards of some of the same non profits and their work is done quietly, without the glare of the cameras or the popping of flashbulbs.

I may be wrong, but my impression of her is that she is an opportunist.

And, I think it is far better to reunite the families than adopt out the children of foster families, except of course in cases where there is tremendous neglect or abuse. In Africa, the neglect is rampant, but it isn't the fault of the parents; they are victims themselves.

Meeting with and seeing some of these 'behind the scenes' celebrities is pretty humbling when you consider that they have a wealth of charities to choose to help and they choose the one you are vested in. I just don't see Madonna in the same light.
