Hi Joan, my apologies for the delay. I hope this isn’t too late. Below are
two speech summaries that immediately come to mind. These will need to be
reworked since some are direct quotes from speeches. We’re also happy to
review any prepared remarks if that helps too.

She’s traveled all around the world as Second Lady, meeting with refugees
and those in need. She often goes where other cannot – the slums, the
border of Syria, the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo along the Rwandan
border.

She just returned from visiting the Za’atari refugee camp in Jordan, ten
miles from the Syrian border. The camp is home to 40,000 of the more than
325,000 refugee children fleeing war in Syria and seeking safety in Jordan.
At the camp, Jill met with many of the children and their families in their
homes and classrooms. One young school girl sang, "Education is our beacon
of light filled with hope." Two of the mothers she spoke with told her that
they have hope that they will one day return home to the families they were
forced to leave.

In 2011, she traveled to the Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya, 50 miles from
the Somali border during the worst drought in 60 years in East Africa.  She
was heartbroken by the terrible images of starving children in a refugee
camp and wanted to do anything she could to help. She met families who
walked for days or weeks, often barefoot and with nothing but the clothes
on their backs, desperate for food, water, and medical care to save their
starving children. She heard an unforgettable story from one mother who
told us she was too weak to carry both of her children—that she had to
choose between them—and she left one behind on the road in hopes of saving
the other. Take a moment.  Try to imagine the type of devastation and
desperation that would force a mother to make that choice. In the hour of
need, the American people stepped up, the international community mobilized
to provide assistance, and we saw how even the smallest and simplest
investment helped to save lives. She saw inexpensive oral rehydration packs
bring listless babies back to life... She saw children getting vitamins and
vaccines to stop the spread of deadly diseases throughout the camps.
