Activities

We are involved with organizing two main events each year which
are the Khordad Saal and the Jamshedji Navroz celebrations. During
these celebrations, approximately 100 boys of the J.N.Petit School are given a free
dinner and a fabulous evening. Keeping in mind the respect we owe to our
Khandias, Dasturjees, Chasniwalla's and others who cannot afford a evening like
this, free passes are given to them and their families to show that we
care. We would like all Zoroastrians in Pune to be a part of that special evening we
organize.
The Z.Y.A. has also kept up its tradition in organizing a Summer Camp each year for
Zoroastrian Youth. This is a thirty day camp, usually held at the Poona Parsi
Gymkhana. It sees atleast 60 to 70 youngsters and tiny tots. The camp holds
various sport activities, dancing as well as drama
classes, elocution, pot painting and even cooking. Usually held in the month of
May, during the summer holidays, the kids and youngsters look forward to attending
this camp.
We have also been in the field of updating the Directory of
Pune Zoroastrians; the first edition was published in 1998, the
second edition in 2002.
Last, but not the least, the Zoroastrian community of Pune has kept the Z.Y.A.
going on for the past 35 years with their unstinted support to us, in terms of
encouragement and financial support.
