Danish Aid worker, Anja Ringgren Loven, who rescued a little boy, Hope, that
was left for dead after being branded a witch in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
Today, she was presented with the Danish Medal of Honour in Denmark for
her "brave, selfless and extraordinary effort to save the vulnerable
children in Nigeria.. More photos after the cut.
"Today I received the Danish medal of
honor called "The Niels Ebbesen Medal" in the City Hall of Randers,
Denmark," she posted on Facebook along with photos from the ceremony."The motivation for the medal: "Anja, you make a brave, selfless and extraordinary effort to save the vulnerable children in Nigeria. Few people know how dangerous a mission it is - but everyone is aware of what it means for the vulnerable children who without help will end up lonely on the streets."
"I will bring this medal of honor to Nigeria and give it to David. Without him I would not be where I am today. He is not only the father of my son. He is my biggest inspiration and my hero! He is the most amazing man and this medal is undisputed because of his extraordinary efforts."
Anja Ringgren-Loven Honored In Denmark for her Humanitarian servicing in Nigeria
This woman really got a very big heart. The Danish aid worker Anja Ringgren Loven, who rescued an abandoned,
starving two-year-old boy accused of witchcraft in Akwa Ibom state -has
continued with her humanitarian work -helping less-privileged children
under her foundation Dinnødhjælp/acaedf Children Center in Uyo, the
capital of Akwa Ibom
Ms Loven is the founder of African Children's Aid Education and Development Foundation, which she created three years ago to help children that have been labelled as a witch and therefore neglected and even killed by the members of their community. May God continue to bless her and her type.
