Vijayalakshmi Venkatesh
Venkatesh, who is also the country head of The Max Foundation (also the main organisers of the campaign), says since the campaign is open to all, anyone can host similar chai addas at their homes. "Willing participants can send us an email, and we will send them a Chai For Cancer kit, which includes tea leaves, tea cups and brochures in a week's time.
In fact, we will also arrange for a person with sufficient knowledge about various types of cancers to talk to the participants and help create awareness about cancer," says Venkatesh. These tea parties will also screen films, organise theatre acts, book readings, etc to make it more egnaging.
The Chai For Cancer Kit is distributed for free, and all donors will receive receipts from The Max Foundation. A minimum number of 25 participants is required to host a chai adda. So, next time, when you are in the mood for a cup of tea, head to a Chai Adda nearby or organise one yourself to help raise
awareness about cancer.
