"Madonna&amp;#039;s planned academy for girls has been scrapped, with the land designated for the school now due to become a memorial ground.  The &amp;#039;Girl Gone Wild&amp;#039; singer donated $15m (\u00C2\u00A39.4m) to build the school, attending a special groundbreaking ceremony in 2009.   However plans for the school were cancelled last year, and The Guardian now reports that a monument to national heroes will be built in its place. The new project, the result of a cabinet decision, will apparently cost the Southern African nation millions.  Tourism Minister Daniel Liwimbi has said: &amp;quot;Malawians deemed to have done a heroic endeavour of national importance, and selected by [a] committee which will scrutinise whatever they did, will be buried there.&amp;quot; Madonna has adopted son David and daughter Mercy from Malawi. She is also mother to 15-year-old Lourdes from her relationship with Carlos Leon and 11-year-old Rocco from her marriage to Guy Richie.
