Cape Coast, eine Stadt mit rund 170.000 Einwohnern am Golf von Guinea, gilt in dem westafrikanischen Land als Urlaubsort. Jahr f\u00fcr Jahr lernte sie das Land besser kennen und kaufte sich dort ein Haus. Dass Ghana nicht nur ein Urlaubsland ist, merkte sie schnell und fing an, den in Armut lebenden Menschen zu helfen.<\/p>\n<p>Bereits im Jahr 2008 \u00fcbernahm sie eine Patenschaft f\u00fcr einen Jungen. Dadurch bekam sie Kontakt zu dem Kinderhaus, in dem der Junge lebte. Sie lernte die Sozialarbeiterin Gladice kennen, die dort mit zehn Kindern auf circa 7 m\u00b2 lebte. Leider erkrankte Gladice an Malaria, so sprang Herta gerne ein.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>Der Zustand des Waisenhauses schockierte sie.<\/p>\n<p>Von diesem Moment an wusste sie, dass den Stra\u00dfenkindern in Ghana geholfen werden musste. Ihre Idee ein neues Kinderhaus zu errichten wuchs. Um den Grundstein f\u00fcr das neue Haus zu legen mussten Spenden gesammelt werden, daher verkaufte sie anfangs, zusammen mit ihren Kollegen aus dem VW-Werk in Emden, Kaffee und Kuchen.<\/p>\n<p>Durch die Spenden konnten wir ein Grundst\u00fcck in der N\u00e4he von Cape Coast kaufen. Zusammen mit dem Architekten und den Arbeitern aus der Region fingen wir an, St\u00fcck f\u00fcr St\u00fcck unseren Traum wahr werden zu lassen. In das Erdgeschoss investierten wir im Rohbau bisher 28.000 Euro.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8220;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8220;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][et_pb_image src=&#8220;https:\/\/villa4kidslife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Herta.jpeg&#8220; title_text=&#8220;Herta&#8220; _builder_version=&#8220;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; width=&#8220;65%&#8220; custom_padding=&#8220;90px||||false|false&#8220; border_radii=&#8220;on|20px|20px|20px|20px&#8220; locked=&#8220;off&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8220;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; text_font=&#8220;Trebuchet|700|on||||||&#8220; text_text_color=&#8220;#197847&#8243; header_font=&#8220;DM Sans||||||||&#8220; header_text_color=&#8220;#093532&#8243; header_font_size=&#8220;64px&#8220; header_letter_spacing=&#8220;-0.02em&#8220; header_line_height=&#8220;1.15em&#8220; width=&#8220;100%&#8220; custom_margin=&#8220;||16px||false|false&#8220; header_font_size_tablet=&#8220;40px&#8220; header_font_size_phone=&#8220;24px&#8220; header_font_size_last_edited=&#8220;on|desktop&#8220; locked=&#8220;off&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;]<\/p>\n<p>&#8222;Es sterben Menschen, weil sie kein Geld f\u00fcr den Arztbesuch haben.
