    Joan Wamaitha, an eight-year-old orphan who had the privilege of welcoming President Obama to Kenya with a bouquet of flowers, is currently the most popular girl in Kenya.

    This is how Daily Nation describes Wamaitha’s encounter with Obama:
    • It was an instant connection between US President Barack Obama and eight-year-old Joan Wamaitha, an orphan from South C estate in Nairobi, who was chosen to present him with a bouquet of flowers upon his arrival on Air Force One at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on Friday evening.

    • President Obama spent an unusually longer time with the flower girl while embracing her with a warm long hug before they posed for a photo, the whole world watching.

    • Like a little lady, Wamaitha was dressed for the part. Her almost ankle-length frothy princess dress was matched with white accessories. With flowers in her hair, she stylishly warded the cold with satin gloves embellished with a bow and a velveteen cream cape that matched her pumps

    • Her outfit stood in contrast to the bright bouquet that featured a burst of yellow and lilies and tulips with a few red blooms

    For her, she will go down in history books as the first person to greet a sitting US president on Kenyan soil.
