Remember The Boy Who Nearly Died of Hunger? See How He Looks Today! (Photos)
While
helping children in Nigeria, a social worker, Anja Ringgren Loven from Denmark,
met a little boy and published the heart-breaking photos of him on her Facebook
profile, which raised the awareness of many.
Namely,
this 2-year old little man has been abandoned by his parents, since they
thought he was a witch. The boy was left on by himself, and his condition was
terrifying when the Danish social worker found him.

After
8 months of wandering around, Anja provided proper care and medical assistance.
She even called him Hope as soon as she published the photos.
Nowadays,
the results of her love and care for Hope are evident. The condition of the boy
has been significantly improved, even though his chances of survival were
minimal initially.

Hope
has gained several pounds and looks much healthier and happy now, which can be
seen on the newest photos.

Along
with the new photo, Anja also wrote:
“The
day I carried this sweet little boy in my arms for the very first time I was so
sure he would not survive. Every breath he took was a struggle and I did not
want him to die without a name, without dignity, so I named him Hope. Hope to
me is a special name. Not only the meaning of Hope, but what it stands for.
Many years ago I got the name HOPE tattooed on my fingers because to me it
means: Help One Person Everyday.”
