Because African Angel had become very well known during this time, many donations were collected, so that the association could buy a house with a large property, and it was not bad that the landlord of the first house wanted to have the children out of his house when there were more and more. – Harriet was nevertheless grateful that she had found someone at all at that time who had rented her a house in which so many children wanted to live. All the sellers before always wanted disproportionate money for it, because they all thought, since Harriet was from Germany, that she was a rich woman and had „the whole Bundesbank“ with her.
What was funny was that the house that African Angel was then able to buy was a descendant, of a German colonialist, who at that time, after the war, when Togo, formerly a German colony, was divided between the French and the English, who had Ghana as a colony, lived in the Ghanaian part and met and married his wife, a Ghanaian, there.
This man’s name was Herbert Risch.
For 7 years he wanted to sell this house with the land belonging to it and had not found an interested party until African Angel came and wanted it. –
What a luck and what a crazy story. 🙂
