The problem with Madonna

There's no doubting Madonna's good intentions. Not only did she adopt a boy from Malawi, but her organization, Raising Malawi, is committing several million dollars to help orphan programs -- ranging from an orphanage to feeding center. But the trouble is that the group is giving huge amounts of money to groups that had budgets of only several thousand dollars. And for some of the groups, the new money created infighting, jealousies, and, eventually, the closing of programs.
