Madonna to teach kids about Africa

Madonna is determined to teach her children about living in Africa.

The singer said it is important that her kids learn about "places and environments" beyond their own lives.

She revealed that her daughter Lourdes, 11, had already worked in an African orphanage and said
her son Rocco, 7, would visit soon.

"I want them to be exposed to children and places and environments where they don't have what we have so they have a perspective," she told Access Hollywood.

"I've already taken my daughter to Africa and she worked for two weeks in an orphanage with newborn babies who are HIV positive.

"And when my son is a little bit older, I'm going to take him back as well."

Madonna is currently number one in the UK charts with her latest single '4 Minutes'.
