Madonna's spent the last week in Malawi, and she's been a big hit in the African country -- especially with the kids. The singer visited the place where her adopted son David used to live, and the children not only thought she was a big star, one even said she was "God."A child said to her: "You are our God. Where could we have been without you?"
Workers at the Home Child Care Center in Mchinji, Malawi, also spoke highly of the 51-year-old star about the way she has been raising David, who is now 4. The center's director, Lucy Chipeta, said: "David is too young to understand… but for us who remember the sickly tiny little baby of 2006, it was hard to hold back tears, including Madonna."
Orphanage founder Thomson Chipeta added to Us Weekly magazine: "He is so boisterous! I can't believe he is the same chap of 2006."
Madonna, who also adopted 4-year-old daughter Mercy from the country earlier this year, recently admitted she has been "taught a lot" by Malawi.

She said: "People always ask me, 'Why did you choose Malawi?' But I have always said, 'Malawi chose me.’ Growing up in a privileged life, I took education for granted. Coming to Malawi has taught me a lot."
The star is currently in the country with the 2 youngsters and their older siblings, Lourdes, 13, and Rocco, nine.
