Your contributions, big or small, will ensure the sustenance and growth of works by women that tenaciously empower the marginalised voices in our society. Thank you.
We invite you to a T:>Care fundraiser dinner, organised in conjunction with Rasanai: An Invitation to Appreciate, a multi-sensorial livestreamed performance, revealing and reveling in the sounds and tastes, histories and practices of the often occluded hand of the Singaporean Tamil women.
Limited to 60 patrons, the special home-delivered dinner is prepared by Masterchef Season Two contestant Vasun, especially curated in collaboration with Brown Voices, a collective of Indian theatre practitioners that aims to generate and encourage narratives expressing the perspectives, concerns, and aspirations of Singaporean Indians.
Get your fundraiser ticket by selecting $380 or more as your donation amount on Giving.sg, and we will be in touch with your ticket. For ticket-related or any other enquiries, please contact Jeffrey Kang at donate.tcare@gmail.com.

About Vasun
Vasun is a Masterchef Season 2 contestant who conducts Thosai Masterclasses from her home and runs the food blog, Monsoon Table, in her spare time. Her passion lies in making thosai from scratch, indianising any dish and researching the food history of dishes, especially South Indian and South East Asian ones. In her kitchen, she often whips up dishes that exemplify the intersection between food, history and culture. When not in her kitchen, she may be found buried under the hundreds of cookbooks she has amassed from her travels, photographing food, or taking long walks. In the near future, Vasun plans to host dining experiences at her home showcasing regional South Indian foods that are not often found here in Singapore.
