Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
On 18th Birthday, Nobel Winner Malala
Yousafzai Opens School for Syrian Refugees
When she was 11, she wrote a blog detailing
her life under Taliban occupation, their attempts to take control of the
valley, and her views on promoting education for girls in the Swat Valley.
When she was 15, she was shot in her head
by Taliban in the school bus.
When she was 16, Time magazine featured her
as one of "The 100 Most Influential People in the World."
In 2014 when she was 17, she was awarded the
2014 Nobel Peace Prize for her struggle against the suppression of children and
young people and for the right of all children to education.
Now she celebrated her 18th birthday in
Lebanon by opening a school for Syrian refugee girls and called on world
leaders to invest in "books not bullets."
Enjoy reading and watching the video of
this young girls latest appearance to the public.
