People have been adopting African babies for years now, now the celebrities are trying to help out dear old Africa. While I applaud these celebrities and their noble efforts to help African babies find a better life in Western countries, maybe they should put their resources into other areas.
Most celebrities are in the entertainment industry. Why not have an African entertainment fund to help African entrepreneurs develop African entertainment content for African audiences? Better yet, fund projects directly. There are thousands of artisans, and musicians that could use collaboration and some western know-how to entertainment.
