In 2016 his parents left him for dead in a small village in Nigeria because they suspected him of being a witch.
The above picture is when Danish aid worker Anja Ringgren Loven found the starving, innocent soul walking naked in the streets. It was the moment her heart was shattered and where she fell in love all in one.
Anja Ringgren Loven named the child Hope, “I chose to call him Hope, because right now, we’re all hoping that he survives,” Loven wrote in a blog post. She posted that a couple days after rescuing the poor child.
We are all happy to see the recovery, and progress that Hope has been making. The smile that he now has and the love that they have grown for each other is a grand story to tell, and something worth cherishing.

I salute the love shared by Anja Loven. Its not easy caring for soneone you have no remote connection with.
This is one of the things I am trying to change as a Nigerian on steemit. I read the news when it broke out and till now, I feel shame whenever I see this. However, through blockchain tech and innovation, im playing my own part to ensure such illiteracy is dealt with.

I've seen this news before however it really surprise me that a simple act of love could change a life.
If we could set love priority first and hate to be least, there's no war, no division. There will be only prosperous community respecting each and everyone.
So, I pray, that love may fill us first to share before judging, before hate.
Much love @joseph for sharing this and for reminding us, as long as there is love there will be a life. God bless!

Oh, god. This is really horrible.. I can't believe how people could even think that. It's literally outrageous behavior - that's why I'm all about helping those people in poor countries - they need proper education, schools and better standard of living. Of course I'm pro immigration as well, but the thing is that it won't solve anything and it does more harm for European citizens at the same time. What countries like Russia, USA and European countris should do is to unite and intervene to Africa or poor Southeast Asia countries and help them establish a proper economy , so they can earn their own money for later education of poor children. #WORLD_IS_UNFAIR
