Topic Reading-Vol.460-7/15/2013

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Malala at U.N.: The Taliban failed to silence us.
On October 9, 2012, masked Taliban gunmen tried to silence her but badly failed. Nearly nine months later on her 16th birthday, she was able to speak up to the world leaders at the UN headquarters in New York. What she wanted wasn’t an opportunity for revenge against those gunmen but education for every child in the world, including the children of the extremists, especially the Taliban. She believes those extremists are afraid of the power and influence of books and pens, and the voice of women.
Enjoy reading the article and hearing her speech in front of children and leaders from the world.
