Portraits of people happen to live in Malawi, Africa - Madonna

1) Do you drive a lot of famous people?  

“Sometimes. The second time Madonna came, this place was going crazy. There were journalists from all over the world staying in Lilongwe. I drove people from Reuters and the BBC. 

It was a race.  

 We were not allowed on the site of the hotel, so we waited in front of it for hours. Then suddenly, there was this story, that she will be in Blantyre the next day. We drove there, but she never appeared. I told the photographers to give me some Kwachas, to get an accommodation for the night. They said, 'You took care of us, we take care of you'. 

So I stayed with them in a three star hotel.

As others, I was wondering why Madonna choose Malawi, why Lilongwe and why these specific children. When I had the chance to ask somebody from the organization, this woman just said: 'That’s none of your business'. And then I thought about it and I really think she’s right.“
