Madonna is following a philanthropical trip to Africa with a stop in Brazil to discuss social projects.

Rio de Janeiro governor Sergio Cabral says the 51-year-old pop star is looking for ways to lend her help.

Cabral told the Estado de Sao Paulo newspaper Monday that he will meet with Madonna in Rio along with Brazilian billionaire Eike Batista to talk about possible partnerships.

The singer is expected to visit several poor communities.

Local news media say she also will meet with Brazilian first lady Marisa Leticia.

Last month, Madonna spent nearly a week in the southern African country of Malawi, where she broke ground on a 15-million-dollar academy for girls and visited the orphanage that cared for her son David before she adopted him.
