Topic Reading-Vol.976-12/13/2014

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Malala and Kailash Satyarthi receive joint Nobel award
It seems that the Nobel Peace Prize award has two aspects, recognition and expectation.
Mr. Kailash Satyarthi, a 60-year old Indian children’s right campaigner, and Ms. Malala Yousafza, a 17-year old Pakistani education activist for children, were jointly awarded the prominent prize.
Mr. Satyarthi has rescued tens of thousands of children from hazardous industries despite death threats to him and loss of two of his colleagues.
The other recipient, more known by her given name Malala, was shot in the head by Taliban gunmen in 2012 in the bus for campaigning for girls' education. She has been campaigning even harder getting more support from the world since her recovery from the wound.
Their homes are two neighboring countries, India and Pakistan, which have been in fights and disputes continually since the middle of the last century. The Nobel Committee seems to have hoped this dual peace prize recognition could help dissolve or ease the tension between them.
Enjoy reading and learning about the latest recipients of the prominent awards.
