Wider Image: Kogelo, Kenya - Obama's Ancestral Home
Florence Adhiambo Goro, a vendor, is reflected through boiling cooking-oil as she prepares doughnuts at the trading centre of the village of Nyang'oma Kogelo, west of Kenya's capital Nairobi, July 14, 2015. Goro, 37, said Obama's visit is a direct boost to the local economy. "With President Obama's visit, we will celebrate and invite all his guests to spend time with us," she said. U.S. President Barack Obama visits Kenya and Ethiopia later this month. His ancestral home of Kogelo is home to Sarah Hussein Obama, his step-grandmother. The Kenyan village, burial place of Obama's father, features an open-pit goldmine, a pork butcher's, a school named after their most famous son and outdoor market stalls. Villagers get around by motorbike taxi or on foot while a donkey-cart transports water. Children, some of them named Obama in honour of the President, walk to and from school together.
