Music Legend MADONNA lays first brick in “Self-Sustaining Village”

When we saw this article we just couldn’t pass up sharing it with our fellow fans of brick. From the iconic “American Girl,” to “Evita” in Buenos Aires, most recently spotted in Malawi – Madonna is not only a world music idol, but also an advocate for sustainable design solutions! She tours the world for music, film and promotion of energy efficient communities.

She recently visited Malawi with her two daughters Mercy James and Lourdes to lay the first brick in a $15 million dollar project. Inscriptions on brick including phrases such as, “Dare to Dream” will reside at the project site. Madonna has donated millions of her own money to the country and the school.

Madonna supports "self-sustaining villages" BUILT WITH BRICK to enhance the educational opportunities for those less fortunate. Through these efforts, it is apparent Madonna is no “Beautiful Stranger” to sustainable design.

It is no surprise to us The Material Girl’s sustainable material of choice is BRICK.
