Michelle Obama joined the World Bank on Wednesday in announcing the investment of at least $2.5 billion over the next five years to help adolescent girls go to school in developing countries.

"The evidence is very clear: When we invest in girls' education, and we embrace women in our workforce, that doesn't just benefit them, it benefits all of us," Obama said at the meeting of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank.

The first lady spoke at the annual event for the first time as part of the "Let Girls Learn" campaign she launched last year together with President Barack Obama. Its mission is to address the range of issues that prevent adolescent girls from going to school.(snip)

The first lady added: "Make no mistake about it, these girls are our girls. These girls are our responsibility."

Build a $1,000 shack, call it a school, take some heart wrenching photos and pocket the rest.

Liberals are super-duper at not only giving away other people’s money, but acting all heroic about it.

No evidence, just words.
