17 yr old Malala Yousafzai wins 2014 Nobel Peace prize

Wow! I am so proud of this young woman. Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani girl who was shot by the Taliban in 2012 for advocating women's rights to receive an education in her country, has just been announced as the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize winner...but she shares it with another person, Kailash Satyarthi, an Indian children's rights activist. He has been active in the Indian movement against child labour. They get $1.1million. Well deserving! Malala is the youngest Nobel winner ever!
Congrats to them.......
