Goonda: A Video on Operation Shanti, by Reel Youth
By Dr. Ben Kim on March 17, 2008
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:
Our fundraising campaign for Operation Shanti was a huge success, greater than anything that I could have hoped for. Donations are still trickling in, albeit at a much slower pace. Thus far, we have raised close to $20,000 for Operation Shanti's programs.
This means that in addition to purchasing solar panels for Operation Shanti's shelter, mattresses for their children and families, and a used van, we created a gift that will enable Operation Shanti to provide literally tens of thousands of nourishing meals to the children and families in their programs over the next few years.
What follows is a series of photos showing workers at Operation Shanti installing the first part of their solar panel system, the mattresses we purchased, grateful residents who are enjoying these mattresses, and some of the children staying at Operation Shanti's shelter.

Many thanks to Reel Youth and Operation Shanti for sharing these files with us. And of course, a huge thank you to each contributor who made our gift for Operation Shanti possible.

Just a note to let you know how much I appreciate your newsletter. As a fellow health care provider (optometrist) and medical researcher, I find your distillation of the literature into lay terms to be accurate and very understandable. I really enjoyed your contribution regarding macular degeneration. Keep up the good work. - Kristine Erickson, OD, PhD, FAAO
I get a lot of e-mailed newsletters and yours is the only one I read thoroughly from top to bottom. Your advice is enlightening, educational, easy to follow and it works! Thank you so much for all that you offer. - Lisa Abramovic
Thanks for your excellent health newsletter. I look forward to it every week. Thanks for providing the best online health resource I have found. - Moorea Maguire, M.A.
I thank you and your staff for such a great website. I am former National Level Bodybuilder so I know a thing or two about health and fitness. Your site is very valuable and I do my best to pass it on to friends and people I train. It is also a helpful resource in my career as a human service provider working with clients who need to recover from substance abuse. I believe a major part of recovery is getting your body and mind feeling healthy and strong. Thank you again! Great Website! - Michael Christopher, MSW
