How One Woman Literally Changed A Small Boy’s Life Forever

You definitely remember this touching image that flooded social media last year.

Dette her billede går verden rundt lige nu. Det er fra redningsmissionen af Hope. Jeg har meget travlt når jeg er i Nigeria og er derfor ikke meget på nettet. Når jeg opdaterer herfra Nigeria er det fra Facebook. Jeg ved at ikke alle har facebook profil men når jeg kommer tilbage til Danmark vil jeg igen være mere aktiv her på Instagram. Kærlige hilsner fra Nigeria ?? #dinnødhjælp #nigeria #ngo #support #savinghope #childrenarenotwitches #fightagainstsuperstition #fightforhumanrights #charity #wherethereislovethereislife ❤️

Last year, we told you the story of this 2-year-old boy who was abandoned in Akwa Ibom for being a witch, and Anja Ringgren Loven, the woman who saved and nurtured him back to life.

The little boy was severely malnourished and disoriented when Anja found him and took him in.

Originally from Denmark, Anja sold all she had and moved to Nigeria to start a much-needed charity foundation for Nigerian kids accused of witchcraft – the African Children’s Aid And Development Foundation.

She named him ‘Hope’, and a little over a year later, the little boy’s life has taken an amazing turn for better.

After being accused of witchcraft, this little boy was left to starve in the streets of Nigeria.

In just a year, Anja’s foundation helped turn Hope into a healthy, fun loving child. He even started school recently.

You mean there are still people like Anja in this wicked world?

Unbelievable as it seems, Hope’s case is not unique. There are many cases of kids being killed for being witches and organisations like Anja’s are doing a lot to save them.

But see how Hope, the little fighter, is doing now.

Just look at him go!

Its been 4 months now since David Emmanuel Umem, Nsidibe Orok, I and our team rescued Hope and yesterday I was watching my videos of Hope when he was hospitalized, and the development of Hope is really beyond words. Its truly a miracle he survived and the positive progress is truly the hard work, strong devotion, love and care from my amazing team in Nigeria. Hope is doing so great today because of YOU ! ❤️ I just received this video from our staff Ekemini Jacobs who is a blessing to the children. He was filming the children dancing with Hope, and believe me, Hope knows how to move and shake that dancefloor! ?????????✌?️❤️ #hope #dancing #dinnoedhjaelp #ngo #savingchildren #fightagainstsuperstition #nigeria #denmark #peace #unity #childsrights #humanrights
