Waldviertel’s “Father Joe” as a guardian angel in Ghana
In Ghana, Father Josef is known only as "Father Joe". Many hearts fly to the Waldviertel priest and farmer Gerhard Hochwallner - because their aid project saves lives!
Dedicated organic farmer Gerhard Hochwallner from Bad Traunstein and pastor Josef Pichler, who now works in Zwettl, and many other helpers from the Waldviertel region recently returned from the African country. In their luggage, both on the outward flight and on their return: a lot of Christian charity and the gratitude of the people from Ghana!
Life-saving surgery financed
"We were able to help many. Our protégé Doris Donkor, for example, would not be alive today without the donations we delivered. She lost her own father at a very young age, but our 'Father Joe' enabled her to train as a cook and waiter," explains Hochwallner. What's more, when the woman fell seriously ill with an abdominal tumor and found herself without a job or health insurance, the Waldviertel Guardian Angels were able to finance a life-saving operation for her in Ghana.
With God's blessing and help and the open hearts of our generous donors, we want to continue our good work in Ghana.

"You have given me my life back," she beamed with gratitude when she met Gerhard and Joe. "It is a great miracle that Doris was able to have a healthy child. It was our great joy that our project has become such a blessing for everyone."
During their trip, the team visited kindergartens, schools, mission stations and many people who benefited quickly and unbureaucratically from the donations from Austria. Incidentally, "Biobäuerliche Vermarktung eGen" had already organized a touching farm festival in 2018, from which the entire profit was donated. Let it continue with God's blessing ...
