Forthe past seven years my academic and professional experience has focused on preventing gender based violence and promoting public health. While I was in India, I was surprised by how often people talked about the occurrence of domestic violence without ever addressing structural causes or solutions. My experiences in India reinforced my desire to become fluent in Urdu. Participating in the Critical Language Scholarship (CLS) Program was the perfect way to embark on my journey. I completed my Master's in Public Health just days before I started the CLS Program. At the time I thought it would be a great way to learn Urdu, and then come back to the states and continue working as public health researcher.
As soon as my Urdu classes started I realized two months would not be enough time for me to learn Urdu as well as I wanted to. I considered living in India, which was not something I had ever envisioned for myself as an option. Through conversations with the CLS cohort I found out about other opportunities for Americans to study Urdu, which led me to the American Institute of Indian Studies (AIIS) Urdu Fellowship, a year-long intensive language program housed in the same institute that runs the CLS Urdu Program.
Living with the realities of poverty and seeing its direct connection to child labor and unsafe work conditions has reinforced my passion for improving public health conditions in India. Without CLS, I would not have the language ability to understand how communities are attempting to deal with these issues and what their priorities were. When healthcare professionals have cultural and linguistic competence, they are better equipped to help their patients. Without spending the time to learn Urdu, I would be at a significant disadvantage working with communities to improve their health and well-being.
Since my time on CLS, I have participated on both the AIIS Urdu Fellowship program and the AIF Clinton Fellowship Program to continue learning Urdu and about issues relating to India. The AIF Clinton Fellowship has been a great opportunity for me to integrate my academic background, advocacy work, and language skills to find solutions to the complex health issues that arise from structural inequality. Now I have the opportunity to combine my language skills with my professional skills to give back to a community.
The Critical Language Scholarship Program is a program of the U.S. Department of State, with funding provided by the U.S. Government and supported in its implementation by American Councils for International Education.
I have 3 languages installed in my pc ENGLISH-ARABIC & URDU
while using english all keyboard shortcuts works fine but when i change the keyboard to arabic or urdu or any other language keyboard shortcuts such as ctrl+A, ctrl+C, ctrl+V and other common shortcuts stops working in photoshop cc...whereas they works fine with illustrator cc....whereas these shortcuts were working fine somedays ago...m not sure what went wrong and they stops working now ...plz help.
After trying multiple stuff, I figured out that keyboard shortcuts with the arabic language selected will only work if I had the "Windows Display Language" set to English (United States). The reason it stopped was because I had changed it to English (UK), because I use want the date format DD/MM/YYYY (THE RIGHT WAY, Obviously).
Tip: If you want to set display language to US and keep the regional format as UK without having 2 english keyboards, then just add it through the control panel (the old thing), not through "setting".
Whenever I start typing in Urdu keyboard and press spacebar, it behave like I press the number button at the bottom left corner. This only happens in IPad. iPhone is working fine. I reinstalled the keyboard many times and even after a few updates the issue remains same. I am experiencing this for over a year.
When I tap the space bar, I get the space but to type the next word I have to change the buttons back to urdu alphabets from urdu numbers every time I tap spacebar. You can imagine like, I type a word... then when I tap spacebar, iPad add a space but keyboard buttons change to urdu numbers.... So I have to extra tap the number key (botton left) after every tap of spacebar and before every next word.
i have found a new development in the issue. i usually use urdu keyboard while using twitter. it does the error while using twitter and after that it does the same in all apps until i restart ipad. adter restart keyboard works fine until i try to use in twitter.

Hi my name is Subira am new here,I work in the field of content writing and legal research and I hope to learn more from my colleagues especially in other areas where I have little experience.I was inspired by a friend.
I am new to this platform and like you have bid for projects at high and low prices too. Unforunately, I have not found any luck at all. I am hoping that I may find that elusive project soon but I have also received client messages that are either a scam/pyramid scheme. I will give it a few more tries before I decide on whether to continue here or not. I have had huge respect for Upwork as it seems to be the go-to site for legit freelancing works, but it seems the scammers have stepped up their game as well.
