Funds for teleserial

Over the last four years, the Frohar Foundation has been telecasting, on a fairly regular basis, snippets of our religion, rites and rituals, institutions, interviews with leaders and such similar events that create awareness of our background, instill a sense of pride of belonging and motivate our community members towards becoming even better Zoroastrians than they are.

On every Sunday at 11.10 a.m. our teleserial Humata, Hukhta, Hvarshta can be viewed on Zee Gujarati channel of the Zee Network which showcases Zoroastrian values, culture and way of life.

The telecasts that are beamed are actually a labor of love and depend entirely on the largesse of individual philanthropists and supportive institutions. At present the cost involved in the production of each episode of the teleserial amounts to Rs 48,000.

Whilst our efforts evolve around giving of our time and our talent, finance is a very crucial input that is required to continue production of new episodes. Each and every one of our 91 episodes has been produced from donations.

The Frohar Foundation is also involved in a very small way in other charitable activities — helping destitute women and children, giving medical aid to the needy and awarding educational scholarships — and needs your valuable support for the same.

On the auspicious occasions of New Year and Khordad Sal we look forward to continued financial support from members of our community. We urge you to contribute towards these important community projects by sponsoring an episode or even sending your valuable donations, big and small, all of which will be very gratefully accepted. Your support will help to keep Humata, Hukhta, Hvarshta — the one and only program on the Parsi community — alive. All contributions/donations are exempt from Income Tax under Section 80 G. Please send your cheques/drafts, in the name of "Frohar Foundation” at 12, Karani House, Off Dr C. H. Street, Dhobi Talao, Bombay 400002, tel. 22000831, e-mail: froharfilms@ yahoo.com or froharfoundation@ hotmail.com
