See the current photo of the boy who was called a w!tch and abandoned by his family on the streets.
A little child who was rescued from the streets five years ago after being labeled a witch and shunned in Akwa Ibom has undergone an amazing transformation.
Anja Ringgren Lovén, a Danish relief worker, published images of the young child she saved from the streets of Akwa Ibom five years ago on Tuesday, July 5.
The boy had been labeled a witch, rejected, and abandoned on the streets.
Her post stated, in part:
“Solomon was accused of being a witch, outcasted by the community and he was literally dying when we found him.
Today, 5 years after his rescue, Solomon is strong and healthy. He has grown and developed in rapid speed and gained a lot of strength.
Solomon is very calm and polite. I don´t think I can remember a time where he has been in any kind of trouble in school or with the other children at Land of Hope.
Solomon loves to read and he is doing averagely in school. He is observant and socially interacts very well with his fellow students.
When you live with a alot of children with strong personalities and attitudes ( guess who ) it’s not always easy to be heard but I have personally observed how Solomon has gained more confidence and expressed his thoughts.
Solomon’s future is so bright thanks to all who support Land of Hope in one way or the other. Your support and love saved Solomon’s life. Love from Anja.”
