Barack Obama's Half Brother Performs in China to Benefit Orphans


Here's a news article that caught my eye and I decided to share it on the blog. I like reading about people who want to help Chinese orphans. This person happens to be Barack Obama's half brother who lives in China and is married to a Chinese woman. Here's an excerpt from the article....

SHENZHEN, China - The news release didn't say who Mark Ndesandjo was. Nor did the posters and emails promoting the concert Friday in this southern Chinese boomtown where he played piano to raise money for orphans. On Friday, he said he had visited a Shenzhen orphanage shortly after arriving in China and saw rows and rows of sleeping babies while a harried staff of two nurses tried to care for them. "One child with big black eyes seized my finger and would not let it go," he told the crowd.

If you would like to read the entire article about Mark Ndesandjo, click here. I find it interesting that he has chosen a life in China.
