Less than four months after being shot in
the head and the neck by the Taliban, 15-year-old
Malala Yousafzai is speaking out about her
second life.
“I want to serve, I want to serve the people.
I want every girl, every child to be educated.
and for that reason, we have organized the
Malala Fund.”
A Taliban gunman shot Yousafzai while returning
home from school because she promoted Western
thinking in her quest for education.
The Malala fund already has its own website
with the history of the attack, or “the
failed attempt to silence her...”
Yousafzai says she healed so well because
of prayers from men, women and children throughout
the world.
A co-founder for the Malala Fund told ABC
News:
“Malala motivates other girls around the
world to choose leadership, to recognize that
they have a voice, a platform … Her message
is clear: education is empowerment.
What I’ve seen in my work around the world
is that denying a girl her education means
denying her chance to a future.”
The road wasn’t easy to recovery after being
shot.
After getting the bullets removed from her
head and neck, The Guardian reports:
“She underwent cranial reconstruction and
a procedure for a cochlear implant in what
doctors hope will be her last round of operations.”
Her father was appointed to a diplomatic post
at a Pakistani Consulate in Britain last month,
allowing the Yousafzai family to reside in
the UK for the time being.
