London, Oct 08 (ANI): Chat show queen Oprah Winfrey thrilled her students from her academy in South Africa when she introduced them to U.S President Barack Obama.
The talk show host launched the Leadership Academy for Girls near Johannesburg eight years ago to improve education for local youngsters.
And she has shown the project is still close to her heart by jetting a group of 63 students to the States to visit leading universities including Harvard and Stanford, reports the Daily star.
Winfrey even used her influence to arrange a visit to the White House to meet the president before throwing a party for the group at her estate in Santa Barbara, California, according to the Montecito Journal. (ANI)
