Projects

Last week, I received a 15-minute video on Operation Shanti called GOODNA, which was produced by a not-for-profit Canadian organization called Reel Youth.

GOODNA provides an up-close look at some of the street children that Operation Shanti has been reaching out to.

Please feel free to view GOODNA here:

Last week, I published a comprehensive article on Operation Shanti, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to empower the poorest and neediest children and elderly, beginning with those in Mysore, India.

In that publication, I set a goal of having our readership raise $11,700 in one week for Operation Shanti's most pressing needs.

While I was hopeful for a positive outcome, I was emotionally prepared for a muted response; despite my optimistic nature, life has beaten me down on enough occasions for me to instinctively brace myself for disappointment in such situations.

Late last year, I began working with a professional writer named Tracy Kunichika. I found Tracy through an online service that allows professionals to meet together to work on various projects.

When Tracy told me that she was in India, knowing that her last name is not a typical Indian surname, I became curious about what she was doing there. A few google searches later, I discovered that Tracy is the founder of Operation Shanti, an organization whose mission is to empower the poorest and neediest children and elderly in the world, beginning with those in Mysore, India.
