January 13, 2009 - Groveland, Florida
 
Central Florida wrestling living legend, Usos Foundation founder, and WWE Hall Of Famer Afa "The Wild Samoan" Anoa'i, his wife Lynn, and daughter Tovale visited the Green Isle Children's Ranch to speak to the kids. Green Isle is a ministry outreach to what many would term "at risk" boys. Usos Foundation and Green Isle believe that at-risk teens require special attention.
 
Robin Tempesta, Development and Public Relations Administrator, invited The Hall Of Famer  to speak and motivate the kids. All of the Green Isle children were ecstatic and very excited to have Afa there, and asked many questions after he spoke. Afa began with talking about his early years, when he first moved to the United States from Samoa, and how despite many challenges and some hardships along the way, he emerged and focused his energy into something positive, becoming a professional wrestler, and eventually a Hall of Famer. He told the children that they, too, have what it takes to make it far in life, with some hard work, focus, and dedication.

Also in attendance was Father Charles Brown, who believes strongly in what Usos Foundation and Green Isle are doing to help the youths.

Quote from Afa-

"What Green Isle is doing is so similar to what we're doing. When I walked through that door, I saw a couple of these kids that we had met at a Kiwanis breakfast few weeks ago, as I was standing there, my heart was touched when I saw all the people there surrounding Robin and Father Brown, all volunteering to help these kids any way they can. My whole thing is helping kids, so this is really close to my heart."

At the conclusion of Afa's speech he invited the boys to visit his Wild Samoan wrestling school in Minneola, FL and to attend a WXW wrestling event.
