Obama's half-brother George Lives in Hut



24 September 2008 @ 02:54 pm AEST

NEW YORK - George Onyango Obama, the half-brother of Senator Barack Obama, lives in a hut outside Nairobi and survives on a mere $12 a year.

Obama, 26, the youngest of the presidential candidate's half-brothers, spoke for the first time about his life to the Italian edition of Vanity Fair.

"No-one knows who I am," he told the magazine, before claiming: "I live here on less than a dollar a month."

Obama in his acceptance speech in Denver says, "I am my brother's keeper." However, he hasn't offered to help his own brother.

Dinesh D'Souza, author and blogger, started a fund for the George and its called the "George Obama Compassion Fund" which has the goal of raising money to help George move out of his one-room hut.
