Hymns of Love
Synopsis
In a world where compassion is a mirage, Alice Thomas is an exception. Divine Children’s Home that she started is not just an orphanage. Its a home. For children, who are abandoned by fate in their journeys of life.
It takes immense courage to take up the responsibility of a child. Alice Thomas had that. Especially, since she was then a widow with two children of her own and had only the job of teaching women convicts in prison handicrafts to make ends meet.
Yet, she adopted a child of a convict and brought her home, to bring her up along with her own children. Now, she is mother to 32 children – 18 boys and 14 girls.
Even though, the Divine Children’s Home was started in 2002, the mother and children were shuttling from one rented house to another till they had a roof of their own in 2008. Now, they are facing the world with a new-found confidence and courage. A new journey is beginning to take place. We join Alice Thomas and her children at this point.
Filming the movement was a great challenge. It had Alice Thomas braving challenges posed by fate, and also children who were fortunate to find the mother in Alice Thomas. A story that existed in different times, but with the invisible strand of fate linking it up. It is a story stranger, and more poignant, than fiction.
I really want to help this institution in my own ways. We tried our level best for a good exposure. Do visit the website of this institution www.divinechildrens.com
