Joint Secretary | My aim and ambition is to bring up our Zoroastrian community to it's old glory through ZANZ. I would like to offer my skills to promote and support our community in New Zealand. |
| Hosheder Pithawalla | Joint Secretary |
I am Hosheder Pithawalla (Hoshi). I volunteered to be part of the ZANZ committee as I enjoy contributing to our Parsee community. When I arrived in New Zealand I was given a lot of support and guidance by a few Parsee friends; I wanted to reciprocate and decided to be a part of ZANZ committee to support our Parsee community. I'm also on community patrol for the neighbourhood and try my best to give back to the community as and when possible. I'm bus driver by profession which is yet another role I play to service the larger Auckland community. My hobbies are cooking and DIY projects. Look forward to meeting more members of our community at ZANZ gatherings. I truly believe, in the importance of supporting each other, working together and sharing ideas to strengthen our small community of Zoroastrians in Auckland, and in New Zealand. |
