From the streets to a home: New photos of abandoned boy who was hit and left for dead in Akwa Ibom

Solomon, who was injured by a hit and run driver and left to die on the street of Uyo, Akwa Ibom State capital, has been discharged from the hospital.

The boy, believed to be one of the children abandoned by their families on allegation of witchcraft was rescued by members of PACT and Reach Out Life International Foundation (Rolif) and PACT Akwa Ibom Coalition and has been receiving treatment at Uniuyo teaching hospital. 

Sharing an update, Danish aid worker, Anja Ringgren Loven said he will be enrolled in school once he is fully recovered.

"Solomon has been discharged from the hospital and he is already enjoying his new life with Hope and the rest of our 48 children at DINNødhjælp/ACAEDF children center "Land of Hope"

I cannot stop smiling when I look at these pictures because it's only 2 weeks ago we found Solomon, almost dead lying on the street, and look at him now !!! Thanks so much to each and everyone of you involved in his rescue and recovery. This is what humanity is all about !!

Hope just looks so cool and naughty wearing David Jr.'s cap. All we need is love
