❌ D’enfant affamé à asolescent diplômé : l’histoire de Hope

Le post original

On January 30, 2016, Danish aid worker Anja Ringgren Lovén was photographed giving water to a severely malnourished 2-year-old boy, whom she rescued after he was branded a witch by his family and left to starve to d3ath in Akwa Ibom.    The boy had wandered the streets for months when Anja got a phone call and immediately led a rescue team, including her husband, David Emmanuel Umem, to bring the child to the Children's Education and Development Foundation (ACAEDF) aka “Land of Hope” Over the years, Hope not only survived but thrived, defying all the odds. Fast forward to July 2025, Hope graduated from primary school and is headed to secondary school in September. Anja Ringgren Lovén shared the good news in a Facebook post on Monday, August 25, adding that Hope graduated with one of the highest grades.
