While in Belfast's Waterfront Hall there was a crowd of young people. " You might be some of the very most important people that we speak to today" said Michele Obama.

The students where deeply touched and I hope they will be part of a better future.

 Hannah Nelson introduced the Obama's to the audience in the Waterfront with an excellent speech  inspiring young people on  "How to you make peace last?" Making me feel there is a hope and a future for the young people here.

 The first lady spoke from the heart without any notes in a relaxed and informative way with conviction and motivation. She then introduced her husband who also engaged with the audience. Again no notes just seem ably heart felt words of hope and inspiration. "Hope is contagious"

"What's the crac? But went on to encourage all the young people to face the future united together. With the promise that the United States would always be there to help.

"This small island it's Best Days are still to come, hope for the future is bright.
