The Sunamai and Firoze Davar Charitable Trust of Ahmedabad held its second Covid19 Vaccination drive, free of charge for all Parsi/Irani Zoroastrians of Ahmedabad, above 18 years of age, on 18th July, 2021, at Parsi Sanitorium Grounds. This drive was attended by over 120 Humdins who appreciated the same, especially in keeping with a severe shortage of vaccine doses and the looming fear of an even deadlier third wave arriving in the coming months. Almost 75% of those who took the doses were taking their second doses while a good number of youngsters too took their first dose.

The Trust is the brainchild of Ahmedabad Parsi Panchayat’s Ex-trustee – Prof. Armaity Firoze Davar, who founded the same in 2017, in the memory of her parents – Sunamai and scholarly Prof. Firoze Davar. As Dr. Armaity and her father both have been stalwarts in the education sector, the main objective of the Trust is to provide educational aid and support to needy children from Parsi as well as cosmopolitan families. Additionally, the trust has also mandated to provide medical aid to needy humdins of Ahmedabad. It has earlier organised Sheri nu Jamans, Talks on Religious topics and varied activities for all age groups in Ahmedabad city.
