اُس کا گاؤںسو، سوا سو کچے اور دو پکے گھروں پر مشتمل تھا۔ اُس کا گاؤں دریائے راوی کا وہ اندھا طاقت ور پانی تھا جو کبھی تو ارد گرد کی زمین پر بھی بھل ڈال کر اُسے اور بھی طاقت ور اور زرخیز بناتا تو کبھی لہلہاتی فصلوں، کچے مکانوں اور دیواروں کو اپنے ساتھ بہا کر لے جاتا۔گہرے مٹیالے رنگ کا وہ جھاگ والا ٹھنڈا پانی زندگی اور موت کا جدا جدا رنگ تھا۔اُس کا گاؤں وسیع و عریض برساتی نالے کے ریتلے پیٹ میں کہیں کہیں بنے ہوئے وہ جوہڑ تھے، جن کے نم آلود کناروں پر ریت کو کھود کھود کر ہل چلانے والے ، چرواہے اور مسافر چھوٹے چھوٹے گڑھے بناتے، وہ گڑھے نتھرے ہوئے پانی سے بھر جاتے تو وہ اِس پانی سے اپنی پیاس بجھا لیتے۔:وہ جوہڑ جو برساتی نالہ خشک ہو جانے پر بھی پانی سے بھرے رہتے تھے، وہ جوہڑ جن میں نوجوان چرواہے تپتی دھوپ میں چھوٹے چھوٹے گول سینگوں والی بھینسوں کو نہلاتے، ایک دوسرے کی دیکھا دیکھی بھینسوں کے جسم کو چمکاتے اور خود ڈبکیاں لگاتے ہوئے نہاتے۔
اُس کا گاؤں پورب کی وہ ٹھنڈی ہوا تھی جو شام کو چلتی تو سانپ اور دیگر کیڑے مکوڑے اپنی قیام گاہوں سے نکل کر لہلہاتے خوب صورت کھیتوں کی پگڈنڈیوں پر بے خوف لیٹ جاتے۔ اُس کا گاؤں جیٹھ ہاڑ کی چلچلاتی اور ویران دوپہروں کی طرح تھا جن میں کنوارے لڑکے اکیلے خوشبو لگا کر باہر نکلنے سے خوف کھاتے تھے کہ کہیں چڑیلیں اُن کا کلیجہ نہ نکال لیں۔ اُن گرم دوپہروں میں چرواہے اپنے مویشیوں کو ماؤں جیسے مہربان شیشم کے درختوں کی چھاؤں میں جگالی کرتے چھوڑ کر اُن کے پاس بیٹھ کر اڈہ کھڈہ کھیلتے یا پھر فحش گانے گاتے۔
اُس کا گاؤں ساون بھادوں کی ہواؤں کے وہ تیز جھونکے...

This study explores a case of Service-Learning in a school context. Service-Learning is a methodological approach that facilitates learning through action/service, usually carried out in a community context. For this, using purposive sampling, a private school in Karachi was approached whereby Service Learning was initiated. Having identified the school, then access was sought, after which an informed consent was taken from the research participants. In this regard, the study adopts a case-study research method; using semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions and document analysis as the main tools for data collection. The study reports that the Service-Learning (S-L) initiative in Haji Murad School ( the case under study) is rationalized and situated as a part of Personal, Intellectual, Social and Moral Development (PRISM);program'; which aims towards holistic development of children; through complementary learning approaches to school's prescribed subject curriculum.

The study found the S-L document; PC and the students have a clear idea about S-L. However, the SPCs' conception of S-L was found varying. ; S-L in Haji Murad School took place in many steps: the initial planning, identification of the community needs, the selection of students for service, service action and a small scale recognition. But the program was found lacking in the main component of reflection and the program was also found to be teacher centered because the students' role was found to be minimal. Therefore, this program cannot be named standard service-learning program. But in spite of lacking in expertise in carrying out this project, a number of learning outcomes were reported by the students. For example, realizing others' needs, recognizing the power and value of collaborative work, changing and challenging previous beliefs, building interpersonal relationships, understanding the nature of the teaching profession, building confidence and getting inspiration from service. While carrying out the service-learning project a number of challenges were found. Based on the analysis, the study concludes with presenting recommendations for Service- Learning in Haji Murad School, as well as identifies further areas for research.
