Mother Melania Trump: not just a maternal figure to Barron, the former first lady records kids’ birthday messages and wrote an inspirational letter to high school students
- She has her grandma duties to the kids of her stepchildren Ivanka, Eric and Donald Jr, but since she and Donald left the White House, she’s been involved in children’s causes too
- Most recently, she launched an NFT platform to support kids and plans to teach foster children computer science skills through her Be Best initiative
Here’s how Melania is working towards the advancement, encouragement and future of youths – all while parenting her own son, Barron.
Melania is an advocate for children’s literacy
“Instilling a love of reading from a young age fosters lifelong learning,” Melania wrote on Instagram. In response to Dr Ben Carson donating copies of his book Why America Matters via her Be Best initiative, she added: “Thank you for the wonderful Christmas gift that you have sent to foster care children!”
She’s helping children develop computer science skills
Melania also wants to make sure children get a good start in adulthood too. In December, she announced a new NFT endeavour, selling art to “support my ongoing commitment to children”, according to New York Post.
Melania said in a statement that, through her Be Best initiative and her new technology-based platform, “we will provide children computer science skills, including programming and software development, to thrive after they age out of the foster community”.
She even does kids’ birthdays
