United States first lady Jill Biden on Friday ended her first visit to Namibia on a hopeful, encouraging note, stressing the power of youth in a nation where youth unemployment hovers at an alarming 40%.
"Each generation inherits the world in their time," she said, standing before 1,300 students who packed into a shady courtyard at the public Namibian University of Science and Technology.
It has been a whirlwind three days for the first lady, who landed in the southwest African nation Wednesday and used her time to focus on women's empowerment, children and education.
