Witch boy found dying on street makes amazing recovery

A young boy found close to death on the street has made an amazing recovery – He was cast out by his parents, accused of being a witch and a demon child – The boy has been adopted by a Danish woman and has a bright future ahead of him Do you remember the young boy condemned to die on the streets because he was said to be a witch? He has made an amazing recovery! Just over two months ago, Hope lived on the streets riddled with worms, on the brink of starvation and cast out from his community accused of being a witch. Now, new pictures shared by the aid worker who adopted him reveal the extraordinary transformation he has undergone in a matter of weeks. An image of Danish philanthropist Anja Ringgren Lovén giving water to Hope was shared around the world at the end of January. The little boy’s story has since sparked an awareness campaign, led by the African Children’s Aid Education and Development Foundation (ACAEDF) which Ms Lovén founded with her husband David. In an update on her Facebook page, Ms Lovén informed Hope’s supporters that the boy was due to undergo corrective surgery to treat hypospadias which is an inborn condition in which one has an incomplete developed urethra. “The surgery is expected to take place next week, but this is an operation the doctors have performed many times, so [he] will be fine,” Ms Lovén said. “As you can see on the pictures Hope is really enjoying his life now having 35 new brothers and sisters who all take such good care of him, play with him, study with him, and make sure he is safe and is getting a lot of love.”
