“On my sixteenth birthday I was in New York to speak at the United Nations. Standing up to address an audience inside the vast hall where so many world leaders have spoken before was daunting, but I knew what I wanted to say. ‘This is your chance Malala,’ I said to myself. Only 400 people were sitting around me, but when I looked out, I imagined millions more. I did not write the speech only with the UN delegates in mind; I wrote it for every person around the world who could make a difference. I wanted to reach all people living in poverty, those children forced to work and those who suffer from terrorism or lack of education. Deep in my heart I hoped to reach every child who could take courage from my words and stand up for his or her rights.” ― Malala Yousafzai, I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban

It’s 12  : 05  PM on day 1286 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to  pray,   brush my teeth, read Job 20, publish my Disability of the Day feature, promote my Eradicate AIDS campaign – no donation so far –  feed myself egg with bread for breakfast  and continue promoting my campaign – still  no luck .

Yesterday afternoon I finished reading I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban by Malala Yousafzai with Christina Lamb the book recounts the events leading up to Malala Yousafzai’s shooting and from the book you get a sense of what kind of person Malala is and what her life was like in Pakistan I really love this book it proves that anybody can change the world.
