XYZ Junoon In June Challenges

Over the course of the previous month, the XYZ Foundation held its fun ‘Junoon In June’ challenges, which included simple, one-minute easy and fun challenges set by different XYZ group members, with a whopping 2,232 participants over the course of the month! These challenges served as great stress busters and kept the participants engaged, healthy and happy. Tehmurasp’s Titans contributed the maximum participants, closely followed by the Rustom’s Rockstars. 

XYZ parent, Dilnaz Tarapore (RR) shared, “A good one month – my son enjoyed lots. When the challenges first commenced in May it was about him learning to be self-confident. Come June, it became a routine and he enjoyed every single day. In fact on the couple of days, he even roped in his cousins, grandparents, aunts and uncles too. Thank you for all the great work done by the team XYZ and Hoshaang!”

A power packed ‘Junoon in June’ had a challenge set up daily, by XYZ team members and volunteers, keeping many bawaji homes and even their friends’ homes buzzing with excitement and fun for hours… with props including limboos, matchsticks, coins, TT-balls, playing cards, books… and gestures like finger-pointing and voluntary self-slapping one’s own face and nose! Participants, from the age of 3 to 90, jumped around and over obstacles on several occasions, doing various exercises, dance moves and yoga poses! 

Junoon in June was a full-fledged mind and body exercise experience, much needed in the current situation, and with nearly 2,232 challenge videos sent in by participants, the last week proved to be a challenge for the editing team as well, but they managed to release each consolidated participation roundup video daily, on time! A memorable month indeed for all, as volunteers kept everyone on their feet, with much action for the mind and body, and lots of fun and laughter all through!
