New photo Melania boards a military jet alone ahead of Africa tour

Melania Trump has departed for a week-long tour of Africa, her first major international trip without the president by her side.

The first lady smiled and waved at photographers as she prepared to board a military jet at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland just as the sun began to set on Monday evening.

Melania is scheduled to arrive in Accra, Ghana, on Tuesday and will continue her tour with stops in Malawi, Kenya and Egypt.

Spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said Monday the tour will be a 'diplomatic and humanitarian visit' focused on Melania's #BeBest campaign for 'children and their well-being'.

Grisham told the Daily Caller: '[Melania] is hoping to visit the countries to learn what their challenges are, and also see where the US is having a positive impact or results. 

'To that end, our office has been working closely with USAID [the United States Agency for International Development] and each stop will focus on one or more projects they have been working on within each country.

'The visits will include stops having to do with education, healthcare, some conservation and tourism–and as with all that she does through her initiative Be Best, the well-being of children will be her focus.' 

Experts have said over the course of the trip Melania may also find herself repairing relationships with African leaders who have been offended by her husband.

President Trump has made a number of impolite comments about the continent in the past, including having referred to some African countries as 's**tholes'.   

He played a different tune last week when promoting Melania's trip, telling reporters: 'We both love Africa. Africa is so beautiful, the most beautiful part of the world, in many ways.'

In typical first-lady fashion, Melania was dressed to the nines when she arrived at the tarmac

She wore a copper-colored suede coat, brown leather skirt and a pair of cheetah-print stilettos

In a final tweet before her departure, Melania wrote: 'We are taking off for #Africa! So looking forward to visiting #Ghana #Malawi #Kenya & #Egypt as I take #BeBest international. #FLOTUSinAfrica2018.'

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
