Would it not be good to start the morning with a cup of nice hot tea?

Perhaps it would be even more appreciated when one is battling a disease in the unfamiliar environment of a hospital. It is not just the tea; perhaps it is also the warm feeling that someone cares.

Mrs & Mr. Rakesh Nayyar and their friends have been serving chai and biscuits for 600 to 700 patients and their family members at Kidwai Institute of Oncology, Bengaluru, since 15 August 2015. They call their program “Mission Chai”. Chai with compassion!

In the picture you see them with Professor Dr Linge Gowda (right), the director of Kidwai Institute of Oncology, a Regional Cancer Centre. He is also a Palliative care physician, we are proud to say.

Our respects to you, Mrs & Mr Nayyar and friends.
