      Tehmtan and Shernaz Dumasia , from Godrej baug , Nepean sea road , Mumbai deserve all Kudos to not only help in Covid , but even otherwise to any person in their difficult times. Tehmtan helped many Covid patients – ferrying them to the Hospital , following up with patients families and doctors. Also taking dementia patients , snake bite patients etc all through the last 2 decades. A true Zorastrian . He needs to be recognised for his efforts

  • Themton Dumasia went out of his way to help so many people during these tough times. Apart from the blessings he received from them and their families, He definitely deserves to be recognized for all the help he provided taking people to the hospital, providing food and helping with providing prayers for our parsee deceased when they were taken to the crematorium to be cremated straight from the hospital.
    Appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts.

  • Thempton Dumasia took 35 patients to Parsi General free. He also took 1100 people for vaccines. Good Deeds!

  • TEHMTON DUMASIA FROM GODREJ BAUG.
    Sorry I have no words to express how much Seva he has contributed towards our community. Mr. Dumasia and his Wife Shernaz gave not just 100% of their time but went an extra mile to do all in their capacity, especially for the old and needy. They have earned Blessings. May Dadar Hormazd Bless Them Too

    He has been a pillar of strength for all of us in Cusrow Baug and outside our colony also, during these trying times. Anybody from Cusrow Baug will vouch that.

  • Tehemtan Dumasia has helped all the Parsis with Covid vaccine registration, appointment and conveyance. He’s ever awilling to actively help those in need. He goes out of his way to resolve issues.

  • Rumy Zaria has been an extremely great support to one and all. During the pandemic crisis, he went out of the way in helping the needy by supplying food items, medical and any form of help that was required. He did not even think twice about safety for himself and his family members.

    He was the only one to initiate the vaccination drive for people in suburbs also while were struggling for getting appointments. Best part was that he, along with his team members were present at the suburb centres during the drive which went for more than a two month to ensure smooth process.

    He has been an extremely helpful and kind person always and we truly appreciate and bless him and all his family members.

  • Ruksheen Vajifdar.
    Having the privilege of knowing Ruksheen and
    the Vajifdar family personally, I can, with utmost certainty vouch for her compassion, benevolence and the drive to make a difference for the destitute and the underprivileged.

    While the pandemic has seen many a hero rise from a common Indian family, Ruksheen and her team have been making a difference way before the pandemic by not just helping an individual but an entire depraved village.

    Hence, I nominate and request everyone reading this to nominate Ruksheen as the Covid hero.

    • Kavita Ramchandani

      I nominate Ruksheen Vajifdar as a true Covid hero as she has demonstrated kindness and empathy through putting a community of people first and striving to ensure they were able to survive through the pandemic by giving them the basic human needs they required as well as compassion.

  • I nominate Ruksheen Vajifdar as the Covid hero for all she has done.

  • Vistasp Nadir Dastur

    I nominate Ruksheen Vazifdar….young, dynamic, a woman with a heart of gold and always having the under privileged at heart

  • I wish to vote for Nausheen Vajifdar for her dedication and inspiring work towards society. This recognition would go a long way to incentivize her to reach out further to to the marginalized.

  • I nominate Ruksheen Vajifdar

  • I nominate Ruksheen Vajifdar for the amazing work she does.

  • I nominate Ruksheen for her dedication

  • Have sent my nomination for Rakhsheen Vajifdar at pandemic@fezana.org but it does not reflect on your site. Could you please help me with the same?

  • Aanchal Moolchandani

    I nominate Rukseen for her excellent contribution .

  • I nominate Rukhsheen Vajifdar . She is the youngest achiever . She has persued her childhood passion of helping people in distress with utmost dedication .

  • Mrs. Bakhtaver Patel

    Rukhsheen Vajifdar.

    I would like to nominate Rukhsheen for the stellar work that she has done and continues to do, during these trying times.

    I have personally seen her using her own house to stock the supplies to be distributed to those in dire need and then tirelessly work with other helpers to ensure the necessities are being delivered.

    With such young people coming to the forefront, it’s indeed heartening to see the future of our community in good hands.

    God bless!
