Two years after the Obamas handed over the United States’ presidential seat to Donald Trump, the duo have had a penchant for engaging the public on social media and during special functions.

Obama took to his Instagram page to treat the public to a photo of him and Michelle making furniture for school children in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, alongside the “Obama Foundation Leaders.”

“Last week, Michelle and I had a chance to join the Obama Foundation Leaders for an afternoon of community service in Kuala Lumpur,” he wrote in the post, admitting that Michelle is better at handling tools than himself.

“Together, we built furniture for local schools in need of some refurbishing. It was inspiring to see these emerging young leaders so motivated to help those in need—and a reminder that Michelle is much better with power tools than I am.”
