Hi there,
This week, we wanted to make sure you heard directly from President and Mrs. Obama as they offered words of thanks and encouragement to community leaders here in Chicago and around the world, as well as healthcare workers on the frontlines—and even sat down for a little storytime.
We hope you take a minute to watch these videos from President and Mrs. Obama—and continue to share more stories of social connection in this time of social distancing at obama.org/HOPE.
Stay healthy, stay hopeful,
—The Obama Foundation

Last week, President Obama joined a call with community leaders from across Chicago who are responding to this moment. Hear the words of encouragement he shared.
|
Mrs. Obama joined former first lady Laura Bush for Global Citizen’s "One World: Together at Home" special to thank the essential health care workers who are risking their lives every day on our behalf.
|
“In a lot of ways crises like this sharpen our focus and I hope for all of you have underscored why the work you do is so important.”
President Obama met with our Obama Foundation Scholars to offer some words of advice as they find creative ways to continue their inspiring work.
|
To all those children in need of a good story—and those parents in need of a little break—watch Mrs. Obama read one of her favorite children’s books, “The Gruffalo.” Be sure to tune in Mondays at 11 am CT to PBS KIDS’ Facebook page or YouTube channel.
