Malala Yousafzai was born in 1997 in Pakistan and educated partly by her father, a teacher and school owner, and partly in school. She began writing a blog for BBC Urdu about life under Taliban rule, advocating for girl's education, which made her a target. In 2009 the Taliban banned girls' education and began attacking schools. In 2012 Malala was shot by the Taliban while traveling home from school, but survived and has since advocated internationally for the right to education.

9. I believe I achieved my learning objective
which is to explain in a power point about
Malala’s life, her achievements, and about the
children in the world who do not have
opportunity for an education. I found this
information by reading her book and looking at
websites. I learned that despite how daunting a
cause might be, even children can make a
difference.
