This is very exciting. I admire the fact that the First Lady recognizes the need to go outside of the United States and share abroad. I think it is also great that she will be taking her daughters with her and her mother. It would be great if she was going to meet with Oprah at Oprah's Leadership Academy for Girls. That would be great. Young girls all over the world could continue to dream about the possibilities. I cannot wait to see the media coverage of this. I hope I don't have to wait. I hope this is covered just like the Palin bus tour!!!!
FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA TO VISIT SOUTH AFRICA AND BOTSWANA
Official visit continues the First Lady’s work engaging youth at home and abroad
First Lady Michelle Obama announced that she will travel to Johannesburg and Cape Town, South Africa and Gaborone, Botswana during an official visit to Africa from June 21 – 26 focused on youth leadership, education, health and wellness. The trip is a continuation of Mrs. Obama’s work to engage young people at home and abroad, from mentoring students in the United States and encouraging them to gain international experience, to encouraging young people to excel academically, serve, and lead during her visits to Brazil, Chile, El Salvador, India, Mexico and the United Kingdom. Accompanying Mrs. Obama on this trip will be her mother, Mrs. Robinson and her daughters, Malia and Sasha Obama.
This visit to two critical countries will underscore that the United States has an important stake in the success of Africa's many nations and underscore the historic connections between the American people and those who live on the African continent. South Africa is a vital global partner for the United States, as political leader and economic engine on the continent, and a historic example of democratic transition in Africa and around the world. Botswana’s enduring democracy, bolstered by its commitment to using its vast natural resources to invest in its people and grow its economy, models the potential for good governance, and strong institutions to advance prosperous and stable societies.

Hey,Who are other 3 people, in addition to Michelle, Malia & Sasha? Well at this time is better than before when they traveled with an entourage of 40 people. When they visit Georgia? 3,000 Georgians faught in Iraq, and now they are in Afghanistan. Georgians die there, and they do not thank Georgians in public. That's why many Americans do not know there is a small country Georgia, real ally of the US. Whatever, the White House is a travel agency:-)Thank you so much!!
