Objectives
Sarim Burney Welfare Trust International has a firm belief that the
position of disabled people in society is a major concern & due to their
disability they are always ignored & deprived of their legal rights as
such the attitude of the society about the disable must & should be
changed & ensuring their full participation in every sphere of life.
Disability is not inevitable; equality is possible and can be achieved
through removing the barriers to our social inclusion.
The trust as to make general awareness regarding the rights & anxiety of
the disables, time to time has published press release stating wherein the
basic requirements & civic ethics which are required to be followed by
the public at large, so that the rights of the disables may not be ignored,
enabling them to feel like a normal person.
Disasters Relief:
Providing relief & assistance during natural disasters
Sarim Burney Welfare Trust has continuously provided aid in those areas
in Pakistan experiencing drought and famine. The trusts Volunteers took
medical supply to those affected areas during the aftermath of Tsunami
disaster.
Ambulance Services
Sarim Burney Welfare Trust is currently in short of ambulances &
therefore facing hardship to provide timely & prompt services in urban
& rural areas of Pakistan. Hence this trust is in need of ambulances & it
can only be possible to achieve when the well-wishers donates.
given the files of the applicants of the lawyers of the trust. I have to
make entries about the details of the applicants to keep in the record of
the trust. There were two kinds of forms for the legal aid issues:
Crime Issue Forms: These forms consist of the details of the applicants,
who has visited the trust for any crime like murder, kidnapping etc.
Civil Issue Forms: These forms consist of the details of the applicants,
who has visited the trust for any civil issue like custody of child, khula,
divorce.
I filled both the forms, but mostly I filled civil issue forms. In civil issue,
majority cases were of khula, which means that women of our society
are really fed up of the atrocity of the men. Therefore, these lawyers help
these women to get them freedom.
In the third week of my internship, I filled the forms of financial aid
issues. These forms consist of the details of the applicants who want
ration or any sort of financial help from the trust. There were no files for
these forms. I have to directly deal with the clients, who daily visited the
trust and then fill the forms. What I noticed while filling these forms is
that majority of the people wanted to have ration. I was really sad when
many women cried in front of me while I was asking about the details to
fill the forms. Some said that their husbands are on bed and no other
person can do jobs for their families and some said that they are really
poor. We should always thank Allah that at least we can eat thrice a day
easily. This I realized when I came to this trust.
During the fourth week of my internship, I filled the forms of adoption
cases. People who wanted to adopt children from the shelter home of the
trust, daily visited and I also filled their forms.
From the fourth week, I also started dealing with the legal aid clients
directly. They came to me and I filled their forms by asking their issues.
Then I handed over these forms of legal aid to the lawyers, who then
directly deal with the clients and try to resolve their issues. There are
10
separate lawyers for separate cases. Some lawyers deal with only civil
issue cases and some deal with only crime cases.

Major Responsibilities
Handled on This Project
Before my internship in this trust, there was no such formality of filling
the forms of the clients. But then I started working and no applicant was
allowed to directly deal their issues with the lawyers unless they first
12
come to me and make me fill their forms. Filling of these forms, made
the work of trust easier, because they can easily keep the records of each
and every client. They can also find their information easily, whenever
they want to do so. It was really difficult to carry hundreds of files of
each lawyer, because each lawyer deals with a different case. For
example, some deal with only criminal cases like murder, kidnapping
and some lawyers deal with civil cases like khula, divorce, and custody
of children. These forms are designed because the files of the clients
contain many extra information which are not necessary for the trust, so
these forms are designed so that only important information like the
name, contact number, residential address, case issue, case number etc of
the clients are kept and also these forms are easy to carry as compared to
thousands of files. These forms, which I filled, also helped in making
entries in computers of the trust easily. The computer department people
can easily find all the information in the forms, and they dont have to
search these files, which is really time consuming.
Another responsibility handled by me was that while filling the forms
and giving them to my supervisor, I made sure that all the forms are
completed. If any information was incomplete, I directly discuss it with
the supervisor. For example, in many files, the contact numbers of the
applicants were not written, then with the help of my supervisor, I got
the contact numbers from the lawyers of the applicants. Contact numbers
are really important so that the administration of the trust and the
lawyers, who are handling their cases, can keep in touch with the clients.
I believe that I handled every responsibility of this project nicely and
Alhamdulillah, I filled more than 5000 forms till the end of my
internship. I got lots of appreciation from my supervisor for the work I
did. Through my internship this form making process has started in the
trust and InshaAllah it will help Sarim Burney Welfare Trust
International.

Research Objectives
When I began my social internship, I didnt know anything about law,
since its not my field, but when I came to this organization my
supervisor explained me how to fill the forms. The forms were really
complicated to fill, because they require lots of details for example,
name of the client, his/her father name, his/her case number in the court,
court number, court name (Supreme, City or High), case details,
application of the applicant etc. I really didnt know what the case
number is or what the court number is and many other things. My
supervisor explained me, but still I had problems. Then I started
researching about them through internet and I got aware about all these
things related to law.
Conclusion
I think that my internship at Sarim Burney Welfare Trust was one of the
best practical experience of my life. I learned a lot during my entire time
period of internship. The task assigned to me gave me the chance to deal
with the people and enhance my public dealing skill and convincing
power, which is necessary for a student, who wants to pursue a business
degree. I was also provided with the best facilities to do my work. The
coordinator of the internship was a nice person and used to handle all the
tasks and all the work related to internship in a calm manner.

During the entire internship period I also learned a lot about the
organization too. Before this I had a very little knowledge about how
this trust helps people. But after working at this place, I came to know
that all the staff members do their work with dedication in order to serve
humanity.
By daily observing the clients visiting the trust, I also realized that we
should always be thankful to Allah with what we got in our lives. People
face many problems in lives like poverty, problems in the family
relations etc and when they do not find anyone to help them then they
visit the trust. We should remember that the lives which we are living are
much better than many others, so we should never complain about small
things and always thank Allah.
Recommendations
Initially, when I started working in the trust I didnt like the organization
and I thought that this will not be a good working experience for me,
because I was having trouble in co-operating with the environment. This
is because daily I see people crying and begging to help them, but then
my thoughts about the organization changed by observing the dedication
of the employees of the trust to serve humanity. I also found my work
boring, since I have never studied law before, neither I am a law student,
but as the time passed I started taking interest in my work.
I learned a lot about the organization and its employees that daily they
deal with many crime, divorce, financial aid, and many other cases and
try to resolve them as quickly as possible. Before, my internship
experience I didnt know much about this organization. I also came to
knew about the conditions of the poor people through my experience of
public dealing with them.
