Children of the Nyaka School, themselves poor and orphaned, pray for others in the world; harmony abounds between Christian and Muslim students and teachers; and impoverished, elderly women are changed into Grandmother Heroes. A donation from Los Angeles school students to Nyaka had the unforeseen ripple effect of aiding Allan, a remarkable child born with cerebral palsy to realize his innermost wishes. If those without the basic necessities of life, can pray for others, rise up with indomitable faith and hope, and succeed, what 'miracles' of achievement would be barred to those of us living with seemingly unlimited material advantages? The central theme of the film is shown in these words appearing on screen at the close of the film: "We all have needs and wishes, Some expressed, some hidden in our hearts. Universal Spirit knows our wishes, sees our challenges...and answers." Written by Anonymous See less
