MALALA Yousuf Zai .. A Shining Star of PAKISTAN

A shining star born in 1998 in SWAT District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa her name is “MALALA Yousuf Zai”. A girl who didn’t know about her future, what kind of critical situations she has to face in her future and what kind of struggle she has to make to get Education…

When she was born, there were very much critical situations in SWAT, there was a war which is going between Pakistan Army and the Terrorists, every day many people loses their life… many school, college and buildings are destroyed by the terrorists, who are against the Education. Their aim is to destroy and capture this country (Pakistan). In these situations this star grew like a hope for the people of SWAT. She knew that all these situations are occurring because of lack of Education and she understand the value of Education in the early stage of her life. Therefore she took the decision that she wants to get Education by hook or by crook.

In the age of 12 when the situations of SWAT were not good, she started writing a diary in which she write about the situations of SWAT and wrote about the lack of Education for girls, with the help of her writing, she spread the voice of people of SWAT to the World. She struggle for the Education especially for girls…

For this courageous step and for outstanding services for the promotion of peace under extremely critical situations, she was awarded the first National Peace Award by the Pakistani government on December 19^th, 2011.

Speaking to the media afterwards, she expressed her aim to form a political party focused on Education. Immediately, the Govt. Girls Secondary School, Mission Road, was renamed as MALALA Yousuf Zai Govt. Girls Secondary School in her honor.  

We all know that future is hidden from all of us and if future is not hidden from us we were not hopeful. Same as this star did, she had hope that one day this will change; one day there will be peace in SWAT, and in Pakistan. But on October 9^th, 2012 a coward terrorist stopped the school van and after the identification of MALALA, he shoots on her head.

Right now this brave girl is fighting with life and death.

I pray that may ALLAH give her long life…

In the end I humbly request you to pray for this brave girl...
