No sleepover for Melania Trump in Malawi, visits school as part of Africa tour
United State of America first ladyMelania Trump, on the second stop of a five-day goodwill tour of Africa, on Thursday visited a school in Malawi, where the young children sang that they were so happy to see her.
She landed in the capital, Lilongwe, in the morning after a six-hour flight from Ghana. She is focusing the trip on her interest in child welfare.
The U.S first lady received a joyous welcome upon her arrival at Kamuzu International Airport, with singing and dancing by a troupe of women and scores of school children waving American and Malawian flags.
Mrs. Trump went directly to Chipala Primary School in Lilongwe. The school receives education aid from the U.S. Agency for International Development. Malawi has received a total of 9.6 million textbooks in the past few years through a U.S.-funded national reading program.
Mrs. Trump toured several classrooms in the equivalent of second and third grade and watched teachers carry out lessons to help the young students learn English and the Chichewa language.
All the classrooms were outdoors, with the young students sitting shoulder to shoulder in rows on the loose red dirt in their blue uniforms, girls in dresses with red collars and boys in collared shirts and short pants.
The students welcomed Mrs. Trump to the school with song: “We are happy today to see you. Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome all of you. We are happy today. We are happy to see you.”
Mrs. Trump planned to visit the State House to meet over tea with Malawi’s first lady, Gertrude Mutharika. The first ladies were expected to walk through the gardens and watch a traditional dance performance.
Mrs. Trump opened her first extended solo international trip on Tuesday in Ghana. The remaining stops on her tour are Kenya and Egypt. She is expected to return to Washington, D.C. on October 7.

This truly crap!!!! Why the students from the school were not sent to receive her!!!! Look at those at the airport???? The same Malawi????
It’s shocking to hear someone backing the leadership kuti they are running this country well. The fact is thePresident doesn’t have an idea on the quick wins needed to transform this country. If he had an idea he could have been back from UNGA but alas. ..
The Malawi First Lady in all flashy clothing, but look at those poor kids…..my God
Ambuye tangolithetsani dzikoli please we are suffering to the core
These pictures confirm that you are a sithole country! Where is green grass? Where are modern buildings? Dusty and dirty everywhere. You people are indeed not fully evolved from apes to humans
You ignorant trailer park white trash. Just to feed your ignorant white trash mind, it doesn’t get green until the rainy season which starts next month. But what do you know about Geography! Go to the desert in Arizona and find me some green vegetation. Tell all your fellow white trash to stop coming here to steal our resources! I have seen a whole bunch of them around. Melania invited herself here and we could care less about her!
Suja mumanama kuti you are running the country without foreign aid mbava inu! Afiketu ku Montfort adzaone ana a special needs mmene akuvutikira kusowa ma hearing aid.. Asangobwelera ku Lilongweko.
welcome to the warm heart of corruption
54 years of independence primary school has no proper desks in the Capital city of Malawi with so called first lady opanda manyazi kubweretsa first lady wa America kukawonetsa ubve kapena malodza ati zhukulu. This shows that we need to change lesders in this country. How long can we have schools like this?We dont need America to build us good schools. Does Mrs Luggage expect money from America to build better schools? This shows current leadership and government has failed the people of Malawi. How about the Ksmuzu International Airport kooks like not an airport to be called International Airport.… Read more »
