She is restless, brave and courageous who stood up for the people and declared clearly that her aim of life is to serve the humanity.
Malala Yousafzai has never been held down by any failures. Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Laureate, announced the five nominees for the International Children’s Peace Prize 2011 in Cape Town. The prize is an initiative of the Dutch organization Kids Rights and was launched by Kids Rights during the 2005 Nobel Peace Laureates’ Summit chaired by Mikhail Gorbachev. And Malala Yousafzai was nominated amongst 98 children of the world.
This peace award is given to the child who has the biggest contribution to society at a very small age. The child who is not only aware of the social problems but also devotes his attention and takes initiative for the purpose and so on. Malala yousafzai although, made it to the list of nominees but failed to win.
Malala yousafzai was high in her spirits and said about the winner, “I am happy for Michaela for winning the prize as she is a special child and is already working for the disabled children,” adding “In fact, I couldn’t even stop my tears while seeing Michaela receiving the prize as it was hard for her to hold the prize due to her being a disabled child”. She said, “Though I believe that all the five nominees were deserving children, still had the prize been awarded to any of them then I might have felt bad and a question would have arisen in my mind of being discriminated but now I am glad that none other than Michaela won it.” “In fact, I still feel honored to be nominated for the award and for me it’s just a beginning as real journey of achieving my goal has yet to be started,” (TN Malala,12)
This was the positivity that didn’t shake her from her mission and Malala continued to speak up for the girls rights in the Swat region. She said, “I had realized the importance of education during the period when the militants had taken hold of the less developed area Swat and destroyed most of the girls’ schools and colleges.” (TN Malala,12)
