3. Content is suspiciously old; can't find evidence that she is still in that position

I was curious if there were any updates. MSN is putting this out as if it is recent, but it’s the same content as a story from 2016, right down to 850 marriages. Other stories out there from 2018 also say “850” “in the last three years”.

I genuinely wanted to know if she is still alive, still chief, how it’s progressing but can’t find anything credible except the same story over and over.

A nice story, if true, and if it has continued to progress.
Maybe Laurence O’Donnell knows—I think he raise money to buy desks for girls in Malawi, doesn’t he?

It’s a nice story, but I’m wondering why iss circulating for years without updates.
