Young, traumatized orphans witnessed the assault, which split open Omari’s face and soaked his clothes in blood.
But thanks to a posting on an increasingly influential US-based social networking website, this story has a fairy tale ending that brings smiles of amazement and tears of gratitude.
Penn State student Ben Hardwick posted a picture of Omari and his zipper-like scar after the Jan. 30 attack, and users of the website Reddit donated more than $80,000 to help upgrade the orphanage’s defenses.
