Poona goes to Panchgani

Over 40 volunteers of the Zoroastrian Youth Association (ZYA) of Poona enjoyed a day at the 10-acre amusement park Velocity Entertainmentz in the nearby hill station of Panchgani, thanks to the largesse of Dorab and Bakhtawar Dubash who own the facility. "It turned out to be a well-deserved break for all the kids for the hard work they put in at every event… They have been the backbone of every past successful event,” wrote ZYA secretary Farah Khambatta (see "Poona’s get-togethers,” Events and Personalities, Parsiana, September 21-October 7, 2022). Community members have often appreciated their voluntary work and so the Association that planned "for them to have a good time and enjoy themselves for a change… The Dubashes fully sponsored the event and Penosh Services provided transport,” Khambatta noted.
