Mama Obama
Obama's Kenyan Roots
There are no proper roads leading to the village of Nyangoma-Kogelo. Facilities are basic. But it's here that one of Barack Obama's most committed supporters lives - his 86 year old grandmother, 'Mama Obama'.
Even at 86, Obama's grandmother still does "agricultural work". Photos of her grandson hang from every wall. Obama was just two when his parents separated. She recalls his last visit with pride. "He was very happy to come back to his roots". During the Iowa Caucus, Mama Obama sat up all night and listened as her grandson's victory was declared. "It's like a football match and he scored the first goal. Now we are waiting for the others."
