In addition to our local efforts we have brought our message of hope to other countries. Africa is special in our hearts because our namesake, adriana, was born in Africa.

Joe and a nun from Sister's of Charity in Awassa, Ethiopia. She would not allow pictures of the children to be taken. Joe played duck, duck, goose and baseball using beachballs with the children. Joe fell in love with an 11 year old named Hylie. His torso was twisted from a spinal condition but he always had a smile and a tight hug. He loved the stickers and balloons.
This is a homemade soccer ball that the kids play with in Wotera. The cost of a real ball would cost a family 6 days of work. Joe purchased soccer balls in Ethiopia in honor of our granddaughter, Danielle who first told us about the homemade soccer balls.
