In Deutschland leben über 2 Millionen Kinder unterhalb der Armutsgrenze. Viele von ihnen leiden nicht nur an materiellen Entbehrungen, sondern vor allem an mangelnder Zuwendung und Fürsorge.

Für viele Kinder ist die Einrichtung ein wahrer Rettungsanker - der Ort, an dem sie wirklich Kinder sein können und sich geborgen fühlen dürfen. Dieses Hörbuch enthält 10 anrührende und gleichzeitig erschütternde Geschichten über Kinder, die die "Arche" aufsuchen.
