Seven year old Barack Obama, named after U.S. President Barack Obama distributes books to his classmates at the Senator Obama primary school in Nyangoma village in Kogelo west of Kenya's capital Nairobi, July 16, 2015. Obama visits Kenya and Ethiopia in July, his third major trip to Sub-Saharan Africa after travelling to Ghana in 2009 and to Tanzania, Senegal and South Africa in 2011. He has also visited Egypt, in North Africa, and South Africa for Nelson Mandela's funeral. Obama will be welcomed by a continent that had expected closer attention from a man they claim as their son, a sentiment felt acutely in the Kenyan village where the 44th U.S. president's father is buried.
