Anyone watching the CNN special on FLOTUS helping girls in Africa?

OMG, the girls' stories have me tears. All they want is an education...the hell they go through just to be allowed to go to school...

Here's the CNN link re the show:

I've been choking back tears as well. But another emotion I've had is admiration for these girls. I don't know that I'd ever have the strength or courage to do what they are doing. They are far more courageous than I am.
