U.S. first lady Michelle Obama, her mother and daughters Sasha and Malia arrived in Spain on Wednesday (June 29) as part of a six-day tour to Liberia, Morocco and Spain to try to promote girls’ education.
Michelle Obama stepped up her campaign for girls’ education after Islamist group Boko Haram seized 276 girls from their school in Nigeria in 2014.
Spain’s Queen Letizia is due to join the first lady on Thursday morning (June 30) at a special ceremony of the “Let Girls Learn” initiative in Madrid.
Michelle Obama spent Sunday (June 26) and Monday (June 27) in Liberia, where she visited a U.S. Peace Corps site and a school with President and Nobel Peace laureate Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.
