That is a great link. If provides more investigative leads into the people behind BHO Sr.’s arrival in Hawaii from Kenya in 1959:

“During his time in Nairobi in the mid-1950s, Obama watched as his old school friends from Maseno went on to study at university in Uganda and even London. Sarah Obama claims that two American women befriended him and helped him take a correspondence course, which would give him the school certificate he needed to move on.

“One of the women instrumental in Barack’s successful application for a scholarship was Helen Roberts from California, who was living in Nairobi at the time; another was Jane Kiano, the wife of Dr Julius Gikonyo Kiano. Dr Kiano was the first Kenyan to gain a US doctorate (from Stanford University) and he played an important political role in the years running up to Kenyan independence, and also in higher education for Kenyans. Kiano later became closely involved with Mboya in organising the student airlifts to the USA.

“When the President’s father left Nairobi in 1959, Kezia was three months pregnant with her second child Auma, and she came to the airport for a tearful parting. When Barack arrived at the University at M-anoa in the summer of 1959 he was just twenty-three years old; he was the first black African student at the university, and inevitably he became the focus of great curiosity on campus. As he started his classes in mathematics and economics in September, he must have reflected how far he had come from a mud hut in K’ogelo.

“It was not until the following year that Barack met Ann, the eighteen-year-old freshman student who would become the mother of the 44th President of the United States of America. Ann Dunham had only started attending classes at the university in September 1960, and she and Obama enrolled on the same Russian-language class.”

...Kiano later became closely involved with Mboya in organising the student airlifts to the USA...

he may have, but WHEN?

...over and over the same garbage, two years working for an arab, for some fellow named Sulemain, on the railways, two women missionaries helped him...and he arrived in Hawaii WITH A MAJOR IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION.

WHEN DID HE FIT THAT IN?

I've got a much better idea than telling lies about missionarie ladies. In 1955, as shown in the book THE ROCKEFELLERS, co-authoried by David Horowitz, there's a referrence to some 30,000 foreign students, many from Kenya, who were sponsored by THE ROCKEFELLER TRUST to attend educational institutions in the US. And I have already pointed out to you a number of times that the kenyan was not part of the airlift. He arrived in Hawaii in June, the first airlift arranged was not by MBOYA, but by a group that included Jackie Robinson, and it landed at Idlewild in SEPTEMBER.
