The lovely Mdme Chua on the left who is a lady that’s very caring, very helpful and quietly feeds everyone….I’ve known her for 18 years now. She is pictured here with her daughter Su Ming who is the dedicated head of Kechara Care Dept…

Madam Chua, who is Su Ming’s mother, is used to cooking food with meat as she brought up her 3 kids. People started to realize how good her vegetarian cooking is when she started cooking a variety of vegetarian food every Wednesday. They would be available at Kechara Care, and people can come and eat and donate as they wish. This was her way in supporting her daughter who heads that department.
