Modern day hero: Malala Yousafzai wins Nobel Peace Prize

Posted on October 11, 2014 | 1 Comment

Malala YousafzaiCongratulations to Malala Yousafzai on becoming the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner. I couldn’t be happier for this brave young woman.

Yesterday the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to India’s Kailash Satyarthi and Pakistan’s Malala Yousafzai for their struggles against the suppression of children and for young people’s rights, including the right to education.

Malala Yousafzai came to global attention after she was shot in the head by the Taliban — two years ago this past week — for her efforts to promote education for girls in Pakistan.

Well done and congratulations Malala.

    Definitely deserving of that award. Could you imagine doing something righteous and knowing that you are hated and can be killed at any moment?
