SOCSD afforded an amazing opportunity for students in grades 5-8. Malala Yousafzai spoke to our students about the importance of education and especially for girls. She has a new book called, We are Displaced. Please read or listen (scroll to the bottom of page) to her biography – Malala Yousafzai. Watch an interview with her below.
“Malala is a symbol of hope and an inspirational role model, particularly for girls. On her 16th birthday, she gave a passionate speech to the United Nations. She was inundated with awards, culminating in the ultimate honor in 2014, the Nobel Peace Prize.”

What amazed you most about Malala? Post your comment to this blog.
I was amazed how Malala said she wasn’t afraid of the Taliban, she was afraid how this would affect her future.
I was amazed how much Malala wanted herself and other girls so much that she even wrote a blog for the BBC and also lied about her age. Malala was so confident and she did not let the Taliban stop her!
how much she wanted girls to get and education
I was amazed, too!
Malala was so brave. I loved what she was saying about “finding our own magic” I loved every moment and I still can’t get over the fact that I saw Malala Yousafzai in person!!! 🙂
I love how fearless, peaceful, strong, and powerful Malala is 😃! She makes refugee girls around the world feel like they have a voice and can speak up for what they think is right.
