Simmer away office stress

Barak Obama’s oath of office created a greater stir worldwide than any former president’s. Celebrations extended around the world, especially into his grandmother’s country Kenya. In Beijing, a rice donation program was held by the Embassy of Kenya and Chinese organizations. Collected rice will go to 80 orphans adopted by Sarah Hussein Obama. The above watercolor painting of Barak and Sarah Obama by Chinese painter Yu Chengsong was displayed at the event.
