The refurbished classroom for the 10th grade students of The Byramjee Jeejeebhoy Parsee Charitable Institution are now equipped with interactive smart boards, "enabling dynamic and engaging teaching methods.” A dedicated library corner stocked with reference books, study materials and educational magazines has been established. A fresh coat of eco-friendly paint and motivational quotations occupy the walls. "These walls were painted with four different colors depicting the four houses of the school students (Diamond, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald), thereby creating a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere,” noted Daisy Zohrabi, principal of the preprimary, primary and junior school, in an email to Parsiana. "Ergonomically designed desks and benches were introduced to ensure comfort and support for students during long study hours,” she added. The refurbishment was possible through a generous gift from the Master Foundation.

Others present included trustee Rohinton Padder and president of the alumni association Farhad Hozdar. Both Zohrabi and principal Vandana Nambiar, who leads the senior school, highlighted the significance of community involvement and urged others to take inspiration from this initiative. F. J.
