First of all, I'm back! I know I haven't posted anything for a while but that's just because I've been so busy with college stuff and work. Okay, on to the important stuff. Malala Yousafzai, the young Pakistani education activist, and Kailash Satyarthi, the Indian children's rights activist, have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for bravely and peacefully fighting for the rights of children to freely go to school without persecution and exploitation.
As amazing as this is and as much impact that their efforts have made, there is still a lot of crime against schoolchildren just for being schoolchildren occurring in many countries. To let World Leaders know that we expect them to keep their promise of getting every child into school by 2015 A World at School have created an online petition that you can find here: http://www.aworldatschool.org/upforschool . And to further help this movement make sure to spread the news as much as you can. In conclusion, congratulations to Malala Yousafazai and Kailash Satyarthi for tirelessly fighting for what is right no matter the threats and trouble thrown their way.
