PICS: The Obama Ladies Chill With The Kiddies In South Africa

After spending the morning visiting with South Africa's first black (former) President, Nelson Mandela, and his wife, Graca Machel, the Obama ladies continued their summer trip kickin' it with the kiddies. Pics of First Lady Michelle, Sasha, and Malia partaking in their diplomatic efforts--all while looking fab--when you read on...
Their visit to the Mandelas' home was only 20 minutes in Johannesburg, so the Obama ladies had the rest of this afternoon to spend with the children of a nearby shantytown at Emthonjeni Community Center.
Mrs. O changed into this casual denim look from J.Crew--complete with a printed top from ASOS Africa and a bright yellow trench coat from one of her fave designers, Rachel Roy.
Loves the way the First Lady makes respectful diplomatic statements with her fashion. According to the White House, The top from ASOS Africa is from a collection that has been designed, sourced and produced by community groups in Africa. The collection is produced in Kenya to support the work of SOKO, a workshop dedicated to developing sustainable and long term solutions to economic challenges in Kenyan communities. Part of the money goes to philanthropy.

Sasha and Malia read "Cat & The Hat" and sang songs with the 25 kids as their mom said she read it to them when they were kids. Grandma Marian was on hand as well.


They also stopped by the Apartheid Museum where Mrs. O snapped a pic with 75 young women selected by the State Department, who are participating in a forum with her tomorrow. Fab times!
BONUS: So who wants to hire President Obama to babysit their cranky crying babies? He has the magic touch....
