Michelle Obama and the education of girls
I’m going to post these links with little comment as Michelle Obama can speak on it far better than I can.
Just a brief note to say that I spent two days volunteering at the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson school in 2009, a few months after Michelle Obama’s first visit to the school The girls I met there were so impressed by her words and were genuinely inspired by her visit and her message - that education and hard work are important and that being smart is a good thing.
