Stitching of sudrehs for men and women, dance practice, trips to the Amroli Agiary and the Pariya Mai well, a crafts session, a visit to a plant nursery at Vesu, and the staging of a play were part of the activities of a three-day camp organized by the Zoroastrian Women’s Assembly of Surat (ZWAS) from May 10 to 12, 2024. As noted a report by ZWAS committee member Nilufer Bavaadam, the camp offered ZWAS members an opportunity to "relive their childhood.”
ZWAS also organized a complimentary two-day tutorial on sudreh stitching under the guidance of Homai Dumasia and Binaz Coachman at the Nariman Parsi Girls’ Orphanage at Shahpore on May 18 and 19. Twenty women were guided from "the point of cutting the malmal to finishing the sudreh,” noted Bavaadam.
