C.S Lewis got it right: friendship is born when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one!"
The Street Dog’s Guardian
The Street Dog’s Guardian Ravi was only fifteen when he found his first rescue. It was a cold winter evening, and the streets of his small town in India were nearly deserted. As he walked home from school, he heard a faint whimper from behind a pile of garbage. Curious, he stepped closer and saw a tiny, shivering puppy with matted fur and sad, hungry eyes. Most people would have walked away, but not Ravi. He picked up the frail puppy, tucked it under his jacket, and took it home. His mother frowned when she saw the muddy creature in his arms. “Ravi, we barely have enough food for ourselves,” she sighed. “But Maa, if we don’t help him, he won’t survive,” Ravi pleaded. His mother shook her head but couldn’t ignore the determination in his eyes. “Alright,” she relented. “But he’s your responsibility.” Ravi beamed. He named the puppy Chintu, bathed him, and fed him scraps from his own plate. Over the next few weeks, Chintu regained his strength, his fur grew soft, and his eyes sparkled with gratitude. Seeing Chintu thrive ignited a fire in Ravi’s heart—if he could save one dog, why not more? A Mission is Born From that day on, Ravi couldn’t ignore the suffering of street animals. He started rescuing injured, sick, and abandoned dogs. He cleaned their wounds, fed them, and found them homes whenever possible. But soon, his tiny home became overcrowded. One day, his landlord warned, “No more dogs, Ravi. If you bring another one, you’ll have to leave.” Ravi was devastated. He couldn’t abandon the animals, but he had no place to keep them. He needed a bigger space. With nothing but a dream, he approached local businesses, knocking on doors and telling them about his mission. Many turned him away, but some listened. A kind shopkeeper gave him leftover food for the dogs, a vet offered free check-ups, and an old farmer allowed him to use an abandoned shed on his land. With a few wooden planks and sheer determination, Ravi turned the shed into his first animal shelter. Facing Challenges Running a shelter wasn’t easy. Ravi had no money, and looking after dozens of animals was exhausting. Some nights, he slept on the floor with the dogs because he had no energy to go home. His schoolwork suffered, and people mocked him. “Why waste your time on street dogs?” his classmates sneered. Even his relatives told him to focus on his studies and get a "real job." But Ravi refused to give up. Instead, he used social media to share the stories of the animals he rescued. A video of him nursing a blind puppy went viral, and soon, donations started coming in—small amounts at first, then more. Animal lovers from across the country reached out, offering support. The Sanctuary Grows With the newfound support, Ravi expanded his shelter. He rented a piece of land and built proper kennels. Volunteers joined him, and together, they rescued thousands of dogs, cats, and even injured cows and birds. At 18, Ravi officially registered his sanctuary as The Street Dog’s Guardian Foundation. What started as a single rescue had grown into the largest animal sanctuary in the country. His story was featured in newspapers and on television, inspiring others to help street animals. Despite his success, Ravi never changed. He still woke up at dawn, fed the animals, cleaned their spaces, and personally cared for the sick ones. His heart remained where it all began—with the voiceless creatures who needed him. A Legacy of Kindness Years later, as Ravi stood in front of his sprawling sanctuary, now home to thousands of rescued animals, he smiled. What once seemed impossible had become reality. One small act of kindness—a boy rescuing a helpless puppy—had ignited a movement. Ravi’s message to the world was simple: “You don’t have to be rich or powerful to make a difference. You just have to care.” And with that, The Street Dog’s Guardian continued to grow, proving that kindness, no matter how small, could change the world.

The Voices of Comfort Women: Stories from the Past. Content Warning.
Even though the first women were coerced into sexual slavery for Imperial Japan almost a century ago, the specifics of their enslavement are still painful and contentious in Japan and the former occupied nations. There are few records of women's subjugation; an estimated 90% of "comfort women" did not survive the war, and there are very few survivors. Although military brothels had been a part of the Japanese military since 1932, they became much more widespread following the Rape of Nanking, one of the most notorious events in imperial Japan's campaign to conquer the Republic of China and a large portion of Asia.
