Madonna returns to Malawi orphanage

Madonna has spent Thanksgiving today (27.11.14) at the Kondanani Orphanage in Malawi, where she adopted two of her children, Mercy and David.

The 'Hung Up' hitmaker - who has two biological children, Rocco and Lourdes and two adopted children, Mercy and David - made a visit to the Kondanani Orphanage today (27.11.14) with her two adopted kids to celebrate the holiday.

She shared a photo on Twitter of her being pushed on a swing by Mercy and wrote next to the photo: ''Getting pushed around by Mercy James at Kondanani Orphanage! #livingforlove (sic)'' She also posted a photograph of Mercy and David outside the orphanage, tweeting: ''The World is upside down! Count your blessings! They are endless............... @raisingmalawi.

''Happy Thanksgiving from Malawi! #livingforlove (sic)''. Whilst visiting the African country, Madonna also met with trainee surgeons at the Queen Elizabeth hospital.

She uploaded a picture of herself, her daughter and a group of the trainees, writing next to it: ''Surgical Trainees at Queen Elizabeth Hospital! In the business of Miracles! @raisingmalawi #livingforlove (sic)'' Madonna - who founded the Raising Malawi charity with Michael Berg - was in the country to help launch a project, which will see a two-storey paediatric surgery and intensive care unit built nearby, providing an extra 50 beds.

She told the medical staff: ''I'm happy to be associated with the future of your beautiful country. ''Children are your future.'' She also greeted the locals in their native language of Chichewa, saying: ''Muli bwanji?'' before joking: ''I'm now a Malawian.''
