The little boy known as Hope,who was starving and left for dead by his parents who thought he was a witch has been pictured full of joy as he sets off for his first day at school.
His very first photographs broke the world’s hearts last year after a charity worker found him emaciated and riddled with worms after being abandoned.
Having made a miraculous recovery,he’s now healthy-looking youngster set off to embark on his education in a strapping red outfit.
The then two-year-old Nigerian boy was found in a shocking state last year.
Hope was abandoned by his family because they thought he was a witch and was found in the streets by Anja Ringgren Loven, a Danish woman living in Africa, in January 2016.
Almost a year on to the day, she posted amazing before and after photographs of her holding a water bottle up to the boy’s mouth.
In an emotional Facebook post, she wrote: ‘On the 30th 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 one year ago the world came to know a young little boy called Hope
‘This week Hope will start school.’
