First Lady Michelle Obama said the kidnapping of more than 200 Nigerian schoolgirls last month by an Islamist militant group drives home the importance of education as a way to lift families out of poverty.

The first lady, delivering her first solo White House weekly address, said the abduction triggered a personal reaction from her and U.S. President Barack Obama.

“In these girls, Barack and I see our own daughters,” Michelle Obama said in a video released today. The Obamas daughters, Sasha and Malia, are 12 and 15. “We see their hopes, their dreams -– and we can only imagine the anguish their parents are feeling right now.”
