Hope happens to this Nigerian boy whose parents abandoned him

That was the little boy that the village thought was a cursed child. That is why he was abandon. It is their believe that if a child is cursed if you touch it you be cursed to. So the poor thing was left to fend for it's self. But this woman took a chance and took it in. From what I heard she and the child had to leave after she helped him.

That woman is Danish, and runs a shelter in Nigeria, if I remember correctly. She found him, after the child was labeled as a witch, and left alone. The woman actually needed 24h protection when the story came out, because she was being targeted for helping out an outcasted witch...

The first picture is of her adopted daughter. She looks totally different than the boy.
