UNITED NATIONS, Nov 18: The 94-year-old step-grandmother of Barack Obama is in the United States this week to promote her dream of a USD 12 million modern education and health complex in the western Kenyan village where the president’s father was raised and is buried and hopefully to see the president again.
Sarah Obama, who was married to the president’s late grandfather, said in an interview through an interpreter yesterday that she had “a vision” sitting under her favorite mango tree in the tiny village of Kogelo of a legacy that would help children and live on long after she is gone.
Debra Akello, executive director of the new Mama Sarah Obama Foundation, said the family matriarch will outline her “legacy plan” at the United Nations tomorrow and head to Washington Thursday. (AGENCIES)
