This week beginning, a Danish woman, Anja Ringgren Loven, a Philanthropist and founder of African Children’s Aid Education and Development Foundation ( ACAEDF) living with her son in Nigeria rescued a little boy who had been abandoned by his family because they claimed he was a ‘witch’.
She took him into her care, fed him, gave him clothes and he is currently receiving some medical attention. This was what she shared on her Facebook page:
‘I’ve seen much here in Nigeria over the last 3 years… Thousands of children are being accused of being witches and we’ve seen torture, dead and frightened children. This footage shows why I fight. Why I sold everything I own. Why I’m moving out in uncharted territory… Together we can make the biggest difference!
I have chosen to call the boy hope for right now; we all hope that he survives. He is in the hospital and if you guys want to support hope with medicine and hospital bills as we daily pay for hospitalization here in Nigeria…”
Nobody can do everything, but everyone can do something. Real joy comes not from ease or riches or from the praise of men, but from doing something worthwhile. Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us every day. check out these emotional photos of the Nigerian Boy.
