Today, Wednesday October 28th, our favorite Material Girl reaches out to a good cause, and encourages us to join her!

Taking to the Huffington Post, Madonna calls for immediate action:

“I am making a straightforward request, I’m writing to urge you to join me in saving the lives of some of the worlds most vulnerable children. And I’m asking you to do it right away.”

Raising Malawi is the organization that Madonna co-founded in 2006 which is dedicated to ending the poverty and hardship endured my Malawi’s one-million orphans. In this mornings post, Madonna describes the connection she feels with the vulnerable children, specifically the girls whose “lives are made even more difficult simply because of their gender.”

In order to kick things off and encourage others to support the cause, Madonna pledged $100,000 along with matching the contributions dollar-to-dollar.

It’s great to continue to see celebrities like Madonna working hard to better the lives of those less fortunate.  In addition her enthusiastic encouragement to the outside world is inspiring. I think the only obvious question left to ask is,  “Will you Join?”
