A Saga Of Selfless Love

All of us have been showered with so many blessings by the almighty, but we usually miss to take notice of the fact that there are many who are not as privileged as us. Not all of us would muster the courage to tread a path not frequented by many. But there are some people, who, against all odds, dare to walk down uncharted lanes. Alice Thomas is one such lady and here’s a brief background of how she’s made a difference to many a lives.

Area Of Work Her exposure to the life of women convicts in the jail, and their children made her see the other side of life. Amidst adversity, Alice Thomas came forward to help the distressed. Five years back, when one of the inmates handed over her 2 year old kid to Alice, her compassionate heart couldn’t say no. With practically nothing, but a caring and loving heart, she accepted the kid (Anup) and brought him up along with her own kids.

A truck (lorry in British English) is a motor vehicle for transporting goods. The word "truck" comes from the Greek "trochos", meaning "wheel". In America, the big wheels of wagons were called trucks. When the petrol engine driven trucks came into fashion, these were called "motortrucks" and the Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV)). The British term is, however, only used for the medium and heavy types (see below), i.e. a van, a pickup or a SUV would never be regarded a "lorry" . Other languages have loanwords based on these terms, such as the Malay lori and the Mexican Spanish truck (or pickup in north

education to destitute children without any discrimination whatsoever. The children, neglected by all and sundry, consider themselves to be a part of an extended family.

Many of the kids’ parents are serving long time in the Central Jail. These kids, whom the society forces into the path of ignominy, and then treats as outcasts, are adopted by DCH and raised in homely atmosphere to grow up as responsible citizens of the society. Children, who could have become a bane to the society without proper upbringing and emotional support, have been given a new direction in life by Alice Thomas. What she has done for destitute kids is not something confined to them alone; it encompasses the whole society we all are part of!!!
