Obama's in India: Michelle O. Spends Day with Mumbai Children...


First lady Michelle Obama (wearing a J.Crew top and a brooch by Erickson Beamon) played a "Duff" an Indian percussion instrument, with underprivileged children at the Mumbai University in Mumbai, India, Saturday, Nov. 6, 2010. U.S. President Barack Obama began a 10-day trip through Asia on Saturday.


First lady Michelle Obama danced with underprivileged children enrolled in the academic program of "Make A Difference" (MAD) at a university in Mumbai November 6, 2010. MAD was founded by two young social entrepreneurs who mobilize young adults to serve as mentors and teachers for underprivileged children. MAD volunteers help young people learn English, an important part of students' long term academic success, through song, reading and other programs.
