Video of Malala (2009)

This brave little Pakistani girl, who only wants an education for herself and all the other girls of Pakistan, was shot by the Taliban two days ago.

It has roused the nation. A friend reports, "she is a little better now. shifted to a better hospital .good thing that the whole nation is mourning...prayers in almost every school. media is giving minute by minute update on her."

Here is Malala speaking out at the age of 11 (NYTimes report):

Enough of this timewasting bother of trying to sell a car with 207,000 miles, even one as reliable and beautiful as this. So I decided to donate my Prizm to NY Public Radio (WQXR) through the Car Talk Vehicle Donation Program. It was an easy process, and I'll soon hear how much it fetched at auction. I wonder which country it will end up in?
