Just 4 days left.

💖 Give today: https://www.awaa.org/bete-hosanna

We’ve raised $7,891 toward our $30,000 matching grant for the girls of Bete Hosanna, and we still need $22,109 before August 31.

That’s a big gap. But it’s also a big opportunity.

Every gift given now can help us unlock more of the $30,000 match and provide the girls with the safe home, nutritious food, education, counseling, job training, and loving support they need to thrive.

The girls have said, “We have never known this kind of love before. The staff loves us, and we know it. They have taught us how to love.”

Four days. One incredible opportunity. Let’s make every gift count.

It’s back-to-school time, and we’re celebrating one very special student! 📚

Amy Danner shares these photos of her son, Bereket, whom she and her husband, Mark, adopted from Ethiopia in 2012. Bereket has attended Ohio Valley Christian School since kindergarten. Today, he plays varsity soccer and basketball, loves working out at the gym, stays active in his church teen group, and enjoys spending time with friends whenever he can.

And now… he’s a senior! 🎓 We can hardly believe how quickly the years have flown.

Thank you, Amy, for sharing these photos with us. Bereket, we are so proud of the young man you’ve become and can’t wait to see what’s ahead! ❤️

They learned to SWIM! 🏊‍♀️

Because of your generosity, the girls at Bete Hosanna have had the opportunity to learn a skill many of them had never experienced before: swimming!

And now… they’re showing off what they’ve learned! 💦

This is what your generosity makes possible.

👉 Help us make even more possible through our $30,000 matching grant!

When you give to Bete Hosanna, you’re doing more than meeting immediate needs — you’re helping create opportunities for these young women to learn, grow, and experience joy.

And right now, a generous donor has offered a $30,000 matching grant for Bete Hosanna. Every gift toward this campaign helps us unlock the full match and provide even more opportunities and support for these young women.

Your giving made this possible. Now, help us do even more. ❤️

This summer, one of our missions teams traveled to Colombia to visit the children’s homes we partner with and spend time with the children who live there. ❤️🇨🇴

From playing and laughing to simply being present, it was a meaningful opportunity to build relationships and remind these children that they are loved and valued.

One fun highlight of the trip? Colombia was playing in the World Cup while our team was there! ⚽️ So, naturally, they showed their support by sporting Colombian soccer jerseys. 🙌

Here are a few photos from their time in Colombia! We’re grateful for the opportunity to come alongside our partners and make a difference in the lives of children and families around the world.

👉 Read Meseret's story: https://www.awaa.org/blog/meserets-story

When Meseret received a saxophone of her own, she no longer had to wait hours for her turn to practice. She used that time to grow — and today, she's performing for crowds, learning videography, working, and building a vision for her future.

Her story is a beautiful picture of what can happen when a young woman is given the opportunity to discover what she's capable of.

Through August 31, your gift to Bete Hosanna will be matched dollar for dollar, helping your generosity go twice as far.

It’s always exciting to see where an adoption journey leads! 🎓✈️

Tamenech and Daniel Laughner are pursuing exciting futures, and we’re so proud to celebrate their accomplishments!

Tamenech is continuing her education at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, where she is studying dental hygiene. After completing two years at the University of Memphis, she is now working toward her Bachelor of Science degree.

Daniel begins his sophomore year on August 24 and is studying aviation. He earned his private pilot certificate while still in high school and recently completed his instrument rating. This year, he’ll begin working toward his commercial and multi-engine ratings as he pursues his dream of becoming a commercial pilot! ✈️

Daniel was adopted from Ethiopia by Thomas and Lori Laughner in 2008, and Tamenech joined their family through adoption from Ethiopia in 2011. More than a decade later, it’s wonderful to see these young adults pursuing their goals and building bright futures.

And perhaps Lori says it best: “Thank you, America World. We love these kids. They have truly completed our family.” ❤️

Thank you to proud mom Lori for sharing these wonderful updates and photos with us! We love seeing what our adoptees are doing!
