Remember Hope, The Rescued Nigerian Kid? He Started School And The Pics Are Heart-Warming!

Hope

It was a year ago, that Danish Aid Workers in Nigeria, rescued a two-year-old kid on the verge of death due to malnutrition. He was starving and one particular picture of him drinking water from the titled bottle after 8 months, uploaded by Anja Ringgren Lovén broke our hearts. NGO DINNødhjælp (Your Relief) took him in and named him Hope.

Hope was hospitalised and had a speedy recovery, soon. In a matter of few months, he started gaining weight and his health improved, significantly. Now, cut to a year later, Hope’s starting school and is looking extremely adorable in that uniform.

Re-creating the first picture of Hope drinking water from a bottle, Anja shared the picture of healthy, cute, uniformed kid. And, our hearts are melting. She wrote on Facebook,

On the 30 of January 2016 I went on a rescue mission with David Emmanuel Umem, Nsidibe Orok and our Nigerian team. A rescue mission that went viral, and today it’s exactly 1 year ago the world came to know a young little boy called Hope ?????
This week Hope will start school ?✏️
Love from Anja ??

 

Over the past year, Hope — who was once outcast by his parents as he was called a ‘witch’ and left to die on the streets— grew up in a conducive environment in the orphange with other rescued kids. Take a look at his cute pictures.
