The FC Barcelona Foundation brought together Keita and a group of children from Mali that have been adopted by Catalonian families. The boys and girls, all between one and five, visited the Ciutat Esportiva with their parents and were able to meet and take photos with the Barça midfielder. Keita was able to spend some time with the visitors as well as give them Club merchandising and autographs. 

The families are all part of Fretanissô, a family adoption association in Africa, founded in 2008, which attempts to strengthen the bonds between adopted children and their country of origin.
