Trip to Kenya
First Lady Margaret Kenyatta expressed her delight at having to once again meet the former US Head of State whom she hosted at State House twice both as a sitting President and after he left office.
He said he made the trip to Kenya because he wanted to understand his heritage, the place where his father was born and also to meet members of his extended family.
When asked about how travel has shaped his world view, President Obama said travel helps to remind people of their heritage and the diversity of the human race.
“Travel also reminds us what we are, what we share and what we have in common,” said the former US President.
