This past Sunday, a Danish woman, Anja Ringgren Loven, a
Philanthropist an founder of African Children's Aid Education and Development
Foundation ( ACAEDF) who lives with her partner and son in Uyo rescued a little
boy who had been abandoned by his family because of a 'witch' claim. His family left him to die because the y
believe he is a witch. Anja took the little boy and gave him shelter, food and
cloths and he is currently receiving some serious medical attention. Below is
what Anja shared on her Facebook page:

Today Anja updated fans on Facebook about the boy whom she
named Hope.
"We should be proud
to be Danes. We are a loving people and we're taking good care of each other.
We are always together when there is need our help. When natural disasters hit,
famine ravaging and civil wars devastate affects us deeply. We Danes are among
the world's most generous. We are the best to donate money to charity, help
others and do volunteer work. More than every other of us Danes gives money to
charity and help people we don't know. And we must be proud!
Right now we danes
hung out in the foreign media. Incorrect or not, media account certainly not
the true picture of US DANES. For when it comes to love there are no countries
can match us! So let us give the media something new to write about. Something
to really show them who we danes are!
Just 2 DAYS HAVE
DINNØDHJÆLP RECEIVED 1 million dollars to help little hope!!! Let me repeat
that: 1 million Danish kroner is donated to dinnødhjælp in just 2 DAYS!!!
My feelings are
sitting without his clothes! I'm so overwhelmed! I'm so grateful and touched by
all the love, care and huge support there just pouring here to Nigeria all the
way from Denmark! I want as long as I live thank you all every day! I forget
simply never! With all the money we can besides giving hope the very best
treatment now also build a doctor clinic on the new land and save many more
children out of torture! It's just so great! The building must be called hope
clinic - donated city Denmark!! They say thanks is just a poor words, but for me
means thank you life! And to those who says otherwise, then we can today
together prove to the whole world that charity indeed still exists in Denmark!

Hope's condition
is stable now. He's taking food for himself, and he responds to the medicine he
gets. Today he has had powers to sit up and smiling at us. He's a strong little
boy. To see him sit and play with my own son is without doubt the greatest
experience of my life! I just don't know how to describe it in words. This is
what makes life so beautiful and valuable and therefore I will let the pictures
speak for themselves:
Today we
"groundbreaking" ceremony at the construction site. Ground breaking
ceremony where we are so lucky to the Danish Ambassador here in Nigeria
participates as a guest of honour and the keynote speaker. I can't believe our
ambassador and his sweet wife comes entirely from the capital Abuja to our
little village where dinnødhjælp builds a new orphanage and participating in
our ceremony. It's so big and I am very pleased to see the ambassador again.
Today during the ceremony I will think of our architect Martin from engineers
without borders and his working group as in more than half a year now worked
every day for putting together and draw dinnødhjælps orphanage in cooperation
with our Nigerian engineers. I very much look forward to show you all the
outcome when the construction is finished. About 1 years running little hope
around on dinnødhjælps new orphanage and play with all the other children.
Where there is
love, there is life"
