Lady Gaga sings for orphanage

Pop star Lady Gaga performed an a capella version of "Born This Way" when she visited a children's orphanage in Mexico.

The 30-year-old singer was visiting Casa Hogar home for boys in Cabo San Lucas over the weekend when one boy named Christian asked her to perform, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

So without any music or instruments, Gaga sang her hit song much to joy of everyone there.

A video of her singing was posted on the orphanage's Facebook page and was captioned: "Christian ask for a song to Lady Gaga and this it's what he got!!!"

Gaga also posted the video and said: "Casa Hogar Cabo AC Facebook Group. Donate to these wonderful boys and help build a home for their sisters they were separated from home. Reunite brothers with their sisters."

Casa Hogar, which is home to 31 boys between the ages of four and 18, aims to "offer a special and happy boys home set in a camp like environment providing physical and emotional care" and the "Edge of Glory" hitmaker was very taken with the place.
