A White House staffer took matters into her own hands after visiting a struggling African primary school during a trip with first lady Melania Trump.
White House specialty media director Carolina Hurley helped raise over $12,600 for an indoor classroom in the Chipala Primary School in Lilongwe, Malawi, after she saw the school during the first lady's October 2018 trip.
The first lady took to Twitter Thursday to congratulate Hurley's efforts.
"After my trip to Africa, a member of our advance team raised money on her own time to get a new classroom built for the Chipala Primary School in Lilongwe, Malawi," she wrote. "Thank you Carolina, for showing what it means to #BeBest! @CLH45"
