We met Swamy in Mysore, with a leg injury looking very serious. He had been to the public hospital but they did nothing, except change his dressing. His wound was not getting better, but it took us a good month of searching for him and finally convincing him to come with us to a better hospital.

Now, after four months, Swamy is ready to leave our shelter and continue his life. Before his injury, he drove a rickshaw and looks forward to continuing to do so now that his leg has healed.

Thank you again for your support, which helps destitutes like Swamy heal and continue their lives.

Santhosh, who we found on the roadside earlier this year, is ready to go home after a long stay at our shelter. He faced the amputation of a foot, learning to walk with a prosthetic, and then treatment for his lifelong epilepsy. Santhosh is stable now, and his mom is ready to have him back home in the village after years of him running away and wandering. Being very strong and healthy otherwise, Santhosh was very helpful at our shelter with daily chores and other work. We will miss him.

Thank you for your support. With your help, we can help others like Santhosh find their way home again.

We are expanding our after-school tutoring sessions to include needy kids from the neighborhood who can't afford tutoring sessions but need the extra academic support. These kids are identified by their schoolteachers or our teachers as being deficient in the basic needs in their homes and/or are being raised by a single mother or relative.

They join the kids at our home for after-school tutoring and receive each day a nutritious afternoon snack of milk, hard-boiled egg, protein powder, and a little bit of junk food. We pay their school fees and are able to monitor their progress and attendance by requiring them to join our tutoring sessions.

Our after-school teachers have proven themselves to be quality, caring teachers of our kids, as our kids have excelled in school -- even having come from destitute backgrounds -- and continue to do well in their adult lives.

So now we want to expand that program to help even more kids achieve their potential. You can support our work at https://operation-shanti.org/donate

Krishnappa is from Mangalore but found himself stuck in Mysore, unable to get home after suffering a stroke.

We got him a bus ticket, and a very nice family on the bus offered to watch over him during the journey. Such kindness is what's needed in today's world, everywhere. Let's all do our part.

We met Murthy S a few days ago; he stayed on the sidewalk near the Mysore jail and ITI centre. The man at a tea stall helped him by storing what little he had in a safe place.

Murthy was in a way the ideal case -- he immediately said "yes" when we asked him if he wanted to be placed in an old-age home, so we were able to make that happen in a day. We would like all cases to be as easy as that, where the homeless person is wiling to be placed in shelter and leave his surroundings. But often, they are unwilling because of comfort, fear of the unknown, or just having something they can control and have a say over -- where they sleep -- as inadequate as it might be.

Recently, Mysore opened a shelter for beggars, the first of its kind in the city. They currently house 450 individuals and have capacity for 700. No direct admission is allowed; instead, the public is told to dial 112 and provide information on the beggar's location. The police and welfare department then take over, visit the individual at his location, and take him or her to their facility. Capacity of seven hundred is by no means adequate for the homeless population in this city, but it is at least, finally, a start.

If you come across a beggar in Mysore, call 112.

It's always nice to hear from our former residents of our homeless recovery center, Kumari's Ashram.

Recently, we heard from Babu, who was with us for months during his recovery from a bad case of tuberculosis. He left us at the end of April, headed back to Goa, where he was a chef. He let us know that he's back at work as a chef and is earning a very nice monthly salary.

Let's wish Babu continued success in Goa, and thank you for supporting his recovery.

JD is in college!

Remember little JD who is now not so little? Well, he's finishing up his first year of college, which he enjoyed immensely. He's quite the grown up now, mature and self-confident.

JD's working on his Bachelor's in Commerce with an emphasis on accounting. Let's continue to support JD, who worked hard to achieve what he's achieved so far. Thank you for your continued support.

Our kids have always like to win awards, and the trend continues.
