Earnest
Okong and Daniel Uwein Amba, two children who were stigmatized, brutalized and
sent away from home for being witches, have both been reunified with their
counseled families. The two children who have been living at the HAPSTA/CRARN
center, Ikot-Afaha since January, 2013, were rehabilitated and groomed to live
normal lives, during their stay at our center.
