Support Nargol priest
Ervad Sohrab Bharucha, panthaky of the Poonjiaji Parsi Agiary at Nargol, met with a serious accident during the twilight hours on April 24, 2017 when the two wheeler that he was riding crashed headlong due to darkness and poor visibility into a water buffalo sitting on the road.
He has suffered brain injuries and has been brought to Bombay where he has been admitted to the ICU of Saifee Hospital. He is presently in a coma and his recovery is expected to be a very long drawn out affair that will necessitate heavy expenditure that the family of this 40-year-old mobed can ill afford.
Whilst The World Zoroastrian Organisation (WZO) Trust along with some others have provided financial support for immediate use by the family, the requirement of funds is going to be substantial as the hospitalization is going to be for a minimum of two months, and thereafter recuperation. Bharucha’s wife Dilnavaz has requested help through a ‘Public Appeal’ in the community media. It is recommended that community members contribute generously towards supporting Bharucha and his family during this very difficult period. Donations by way of cheques/drafts made in the name of "The World Zoroastrian Organisation Trust” may be sent to: The World Zoroastrian Organisation Trust, C-1, Hermes House, 3rd floor, Mama Parmanand Marg, Opera House, Bombay 400004.
Donors from India are requested to mention their name, address and PAN in the covering letters. Donations to the Trust are eligible for claiming exemption u/s 80G (vi) of The Income Tax Act, 1961. Donors from overseas may note that The WZO Trust is permitted to receive donations from overseas as per The Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) 2010. DINSHAW K. TAMBOLY
