we all know that bo and mo are all about saving the children –  um, except these children:

this is a picture of the OBAMA KOGELO SCHOOL in kogelo, kenya.  it is re-named after barack obama and it is in the village where bo’s father and grandfather are buried.  in fact 10 of the 44 students are bo’s relatives! 

on july 26, 2008, the evening standard reported that although barack obama promised his kenyan family members and villagers that he would assist them with their school, he has not kept his pledge.  maybe he was simply too busy planning his worldwide magical media tour…

the school is in serious need.  so after following this, juliette @ baldilocks, one of my cotillion sisters and of kenyan decent herself, decided to step up and help.  she has set up a non-profit called “Save the Senator Obama Kogelo School, Inc.”  the goal is to simply help this important place for alot of kids that was obviously used by bo then forgotten.

here are juliette’s thoughts on all this project will entail.  and the good news?  you can help by making a donation right here right now!  even small amounts help.

be a part of saving the kogelo school.
