Michelle Obama's Gift to First Ladies of G20 Countries
First Ladies participating in the G20 countries' summit, which began
on September 24 in Pittsburg, will take home honey and a unique
porcelain tea set, announced the White House press service.
The hospitality extended to the first ladies included a separate
gathering at Rosemont Farm near Pittsburg, reports Russian press
agency ItarTass.
The tea sets were modelled on a set used by Abraham Lincoln's family
in 1861. Michelle Obama's presents were reported to have an
`individual and historical' meaning: Lincoln was the first president
to eliminate slavery in the US and Obama is the country's first black
president.
As for the honey, Michelle Obama procured it from beehives located in
her White House `garden'; the garden was cultivated with the help of
school children.
