PEACE DAY, 30th January: the story of MALALA

 Hello everybody!

We celebrated PEACE DAY (30th January) in the English class in 6th grade with the story of MALALA.

She was born in Pakistan in 1997 and she was only 11 years old when she started writing articles to defend girls' right for education.

She was shot in her head by a Taliban gunman when she was going to school, because Talibans did not want girls to go to school. She survived because she was taken to hospital in he UK, where she had a lot of surgeries in her head, and doctors put a cochlear impant and a titanium plate on her skull to cover the hole of the bullet. Just imagine!!

She won the Nobel Peace Prize for defending women's rights for education and equality.

Thanks for your great example to change the world, MALALA!

Here is a link to the video we watched in class and the speech she gave at the United Nations.

Thanks to all
