Some weeks back we posted a story about a Danish national in Akwa Ibom state who had taken it upon herself to rescue children accused of witchcraft and abandoned by their families. To refresh your memories, read HERE.
Story has it that Hope, the boy being fed water in the picture by the Danish woman, an humanitarian aid-worker named Miss Anja Ringgren, was left for dead on the streets by his family, who accused him of witchcraft.
Hope survivied on the streets for eight months, feeding on scraps thrown at him by passers by.
Fortunately, on January 31, Hope was rescued by Loven, who discovered him naked, emaciated, and wandering the streets with his body riddled with worms.
Miss Anja, who has a Nigerian partner with whom she has a son, took Hope to the hospital where he was given a thorough bath. Thereafter Hope was treated of the worms and given blood transfusion to replenish his obviously depleted red blood cells.
Already, Miss Anja who runs a children orphanage, has received donations to the tune of $1 million from donors from around the world after asking the community for fund to settle Hope's medical bills.
She's hoping to build a hospital for neglected children like Hope and giving them best of treatment.
