Michelle Obama, Julia Roberts urge Vietnam girls to stay in school

FORMER US first lady Michelle Obama and Hollywood A-lister Julia Roberts toured a high school in rural Vietnam today, urging a classroom of teenage girls to stay focused on their education to transform their lives. 

The promotion of girls’ schooling has been the cornerstone of Obama’s charitable work since her husband Barack Obama left office in 2017 after two terms as US president.
