Michelle Obama urged young girls to fight to stay in school after she touched down in Liberia with daughters Sasha and Malia.
The first lady led the teenagers and her mother, Marian Robinson, along a red carpet as they began a six-day trip to Africa and Spain, after she touched down on Monday morning.
During the tour, they will be promoting education during the trip, which also has a stop in Morocco and ends in the Spanish capital, Madrid. On her first day she urged Liberian girls to stay in school.
Most drop out due to financial pressures. She launched her 'Let Girls Learn' education initiative in March 2015, and has since travelled the globe to call for greater support for the millions of girls kept away from school or forced to abandon their studies.
Obama met girls and young women at a project named GLOW (Girls Leading Our World) aimed at boosting active citizenship, run by the US Peace Corps in Kakata, east of the coastal capital.
Speaking about the value of women's leadership and access to education, the Harvard-trained lawyer said she was 'here to shine a big bright light on you.' 'I want you to keep fighting and stay in school,' she told the girls.

Just stay.
Just fly the plane away.
Mooch will be free from her WH prison as she calls it.
Too bad they aren’t going to stay there for good. Also, too bad the taxpayers have to keep shelling out money to entertain them.
Interesting that Michelle would encourage North African Girls to stay in school, since the literal translation of “Boku Haram” is “Education is forbidden”. (My guess would be...especially for GIRLS!)
Liberia was set up by the United States for people like that. Are they staying for good?
ah, Liberia. where only black Africans can be citizens. And the UN approves.
Watch out for Ebola! ...don’t bring any home for Bambi!
You’re home now ladies. Your hut awaits.
the obama props are moroccan and they visit their dad in a couple days. The rest of trip is cover and crap.
Notice the girls and grandma don’t look happy to be there. At least the girls aren’t wearing their usual shorty short skirts.
I hope they partake of the local custom of going to the beach.
Meanwhile, sending all bills for this useless but deluxe junket to John Q. Taxpayer - meaning YOU!
Congratulatons, citizen.
Monrovia has a beach, and do you know what it is FOR...?
Pooping.
People MUCH more often go to the beach to lay a turd than to frolick or swim.
An honest picture of the beach there will show THOUSANDS of poops, and they’re all from humans.
HAVE FUN..!
Hey Moosechelle,
Don’t eat any bush meat.
Looks like Stinky has a few days when he can smoke without getting grief from them.
Why Liberia? It is a 3rd/4th world country.
Guess mooch is showing her kids their daddy’s home continent.
Woo! Hoo! Yet another vacation on my dime. I’ll bet the Obamas are tickled to death that I’m still working past my retirement age.
