Yesterday Malia Obama set a great example to young people around the world when she wore an anti-nuclear weapons T-shirt to accompany her rather famous dad to the G8 summit in Italy.
Malia is only 11 and she's actively supporting nuclear non-proliferation. I hope other young people follow her lead!
President Obama has encouraged both of his daughters to stand up for what they believe in - last year he wrote them an open letter which said, "It is only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you will realise your true potential."
It must be extremely difficult for Barack Obama, being the President and a dad - trying to protect his daughters, helping them to have a relatively normal life while also allowing them to express themselves and make their own choices.
Continuing on the T-shirt theme, my sister has finished painting a 'STOP THE SPREAD' T-Shirt for me. She's extremely talented! Have a look here. If you fancy making one we'd love to see the results!
