Pakistan is among the top 20 countries with the highest illiteracy rate. It also has the second-highest number of children who do not go to school. I learned how The Citizens Foundation is making a difference in the lives of these children. Listen to the podcast to learn how you can help too!
پاکستان کا شمار دنیا کے ان ۲۰ ممالک میں ہوتا ہے جہاں ناکواندگی کی شرح سب سے زیادہ ہے۔ دنیا بھر کے ممالک میں پاکستان میں سکول نہ جانے والے بچوں کی تعداد دوسرے نمبر پو آتی ہے، صرف نائیجیر ہم سے بد تر ہے۔
ایسے حالات میں غریب بچوں کی تعلیم کے حوالے سے سیٹیزنز فاؤنڈیشن (یعنی شہریوں کی معادنت سے چلنے والا ایک ادارہ) کیا خدمات انجام دے رہی ہے، یہ سننے کے لئے اس پاڈکاسٹ کو سنیئے اور ساتھ ہی نیچے دی گئی بلاگ پوسٹ بھی پڑھیئے

Have you wondered about Iqbal's concept of khudi?
I admit I considered it more of a literary term than something worth deliberating upon as a means of self-improvement
But I wanted to go back to our cultural association with the great thinkers of the subcontinent.
Hence, I invited someone with a 30-year experience of teaching Urdu and personal experience with this ideology.
This week's podcast episode features my mom who shares the meaning and significance of Khudi
خودی کا تصور ہم سب کے لئے شاید نیا نہیں ہے لیکن مجھ سمیت کئی لوگ اسے ایک شاعرانا خیال سمجھتے ہیں
میں ہمیشہ ایسے موضوعات کے بارے میں مزید جاننا چاہتی ہوں جو ہمیں بہتر انسان بننے میں مدد کریں
اسی لئے میں نے اس بارے میں بات کرنے کے لئے امنی والدہ کو دعوت دی ۔ ان کا تیس سالہ اردو پڑھانے کا تجربہ اور زندگی کا ذاتی تجربہ اس فلسے کا جیتا جاگتا ثبوت ہے۔
آپ بھی سنیئے اور رائے دیجئیے
