HOPE: Little boy who was branded a witch and left to starve to death 5 years ago, becomes best man at a wedding in Akwa Ibom

Some time ago, Hope was branded a witch by his family and left to starve to death, recently he served as the best man at the wedding of one of the team members that rescued him five years ago in Eket, Akwa Ibom.

It was recorded that hope was emaciated when he was 2 years and was rescued by Danish and, Anja Ringgren Loven and her team on January 31, 2016, after he was found wandering the streets for eight months.

On Sunday, Ms. Loven shared photos of a stylish and handsome Hope at the wedding of Land of Hope’s Education officer, which took place last weekend.

Here is what she wrote;

“In exactly 40 days today, we are going to celebrate that Hope was rescued 5 years ago. To be exact, Hope was rescued on the 30 of January 2016.

I cannot wait 40 days to share these pictures of Hope. He is simply too cute and handsome. Last week Hope was the best man at Don Udowan, our Education officer’s wedding and Hope just shined like a little star.

Looking back, it’s hard to believe that 5 years have already passed. I remember the day we rescued Hope as if it was yesterday.

As most of you know I have the name HOPE tattooed on my fingers. A tattoo I got many years ago even long before I ever traveled to Nigeria. Because for more than a decade now it’s been my mission in life to Help One Person Everyday: HOPE

Many of you have been following our work since we rescued Hope and witnessed his amazing transformation. He is a SURVIVOR and one day he will be old enough to travel the world and tell his story.

We owe everything to you, our followers, sponsors, supporters, and members
