Welcome, for the last couple weeks we’ve been learning about different peacemakers and this week we did Malala Yousafzai she’s an inspiration to many. Malala Tells a unique story so lets start from the beginning.
Malala was born in 1997 Mingora, Pakistan on July 12th. In Pakistan it wasn’t a big celebration to have a girl but her father was determined to give her an educated life.
Malala’s father ran a girls school but it was soon shut down due to the Taliban entering. The Taliban entered her country, they began setting a large range of rules such as no music, and no television.
Malala soon spoke out for girls right to learn, Malala was determined to fight for the rightful education girls needed and weren’t getting. Malala wrote a blog under another’s name protesting for their rights. The Taliban stayed quiet for a while but then suddenly bordered her bus on the way home from school. They asked “Who here is Malala?” Then Malala was shot on the left side of her head. She was rushed to multiple Hospitals and recovered after a while. Once she had fully healed she began protesting again, soon she won the Nobel peace prize and did something amazing she donated 500,000$ To build a girls school in Pakistan.
What would you do with 500,000 dollars?
