David Banda receives his tribal name in his ‘ancestral village’

Madonna adopted her son David Banda from his native Malawi in May 2008.

And the 57-year-old pop star and her family returned to southeast Africa during a philanthropic trip for her charity Raising Malawi.

The superstar was joined by her son Rocco, 15, as the 10-year-old David received his ‘Ngoni tribal name in his ancestral village.’

The Grammy winner has documented her journey over the past week on Instagram as she aims to raise awareness for the poverty stricken nation, which is ranked by the UN Human Development Index as one of the world’s 20 least-developed countries.

She brought her sons with her on the trip, where she will be checking in on a hospital she’s funding. The pop star is said to be the largest individual donor to children’s projects such as orphanages in Malawi.

Madonna is working on a children’s unit at the Queen Elizabeth hospital, complete with three operating units, a day clinic and the country’s first pediatric intensive care unit.Daily mail
