The Obamas' trip will start from a country which is still recovering from the grips of the deadly Ebola virus. First lady Michelle Obama landed in Africa on Monday with her daughters and her mother for an overseas trip promoting education for girls, starting with a country still recovering from the recent Ebola epidemic that left thousands dead. Obama's previous visits to Africa as first lady have included Ghana, South Africa, Botswana, Senegal and Tanzania. Education for girls is the central theme of the first lady's trip, which also includes stops in Morocco and Spain. The country's oldest vocational high school, located in Kakata, is named for the African-American civil rights activist Booker T Washington.
