When the image of a skeletal little Nigerian boy - who was accused of being a witch - emerged earlier this year the world mobilised to help him.
Named 'Hope' by Anja Ringgren Lovén, the Danish charity worker who found him, the little boy was starving and Ms Lovén appealed for any help towards his medical bills.
She had feared Hope would not survive, but in the months since she rescued him on January 31 he has not only survived but has thrived, putting on weight and living with other children in Ms Lovén's orphanage, Dinnødhjælps.
"The day I carried this sweet little boy in my arms for the very first time I was so sure he would not survive," Ms Lovén wrote on her Facebook page earlier this month.
"Every breath he took was a struggle and I did not want him to die without a name, without dignity, so I named him Hope.
"Hope to me is a special name. Not only the meaning of Hope, but what it stands for. Many years ago I got the name HOPE tattooed on my fingers because to me it means: Help One Person Everyday."
Ms Lovén's plea for funds reverberated around the world, raising $1 million for the orphanage and for Hope's care, which is still ongoing.
He will soon undergo an operation next week for an inherited condition called hypospadias, which left him with an incomplete urethra.
But Ms Lovén said on her Facebook page Hope was "really enjoying his life now having 35 new brothers and sisters who ALL take such good care of him, play with him, study with him, and make sure he is safe and is getting a lot of love".
Norwegain man Bjørn Druglimo began a Facebook campaign called 'One Word To One World' to encourage people from around the world to "all send a personal message to the brave, little Nigerian boy, named Hope".

It has gained worldwide traction with hundreds of people, including European football players, posting their personal messages to Hope.
