...Obama's mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, who died of cancer in 1995, earned her doctorate at the University of Hawai'i while helping craftsmen in Indonesia and Africa get small loans to improve their lives and their villages, and ended up becoming an expert in "micro lending."

...Dewey later traveled with Dunham to the same village in Kenya where Obama's father came from and — decades later — saw a video of Obama in the same village near a building that arranged micro loans...

That article needs to be parsed carefully, Alice Dewey is as slippery as a bucket full of eels. Our interpretation was, Alice also accompanied Stanley Ann Dunham and zero on that first visit to Kenya, after the death of the kenyan student in 1982.

There's been no record of Stanley Ann Dunham 'working' in Africa - or Kenya - that we could find.

That’s interesting, I’ve read many places on FR threads about Stanley Ann’s work with craftspeople and microloans etc in Indonesia, and she spent time in Pakistan doing I know not what (but maybe the same or a simliar gig?) but I don’t recall anything about doing that in Africa. I wonder why Dewey would want to place her in Africa.

Any evidence Obama voted in any Kenyan election for Odinga.
