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.

I hope they all go volunteer at an Ebola clinic. Since her Husband is intent on introducing it in to the USA let them bring it back.

“WTF are they doing in Liberia ? That place is an utter warzone !”.....

Perhaps they are there on another of odumbo’ secret gun running deals but disguised as “tourists”.

I hope one of those gangs get hold of them.

Since I doubt she's paying for this with her own money, I'd like to know what Public Law authorizes spending for whatever the President's wife desires.

Maybe Obama's trying to get rid of them. He's going to be retired soon, and perhaps he wants to get back out there as a single gay guy available for dating.
