I
couldn't be more thrilled for this wonderful young woman. She is a true
role model who works so hard for others and has done so much already.
At 17, she is the youngest winner ever of the Nobel Peace Prize.
Congratulations, Malala, on this incredible achievement. I know it will encourage you to work even harder on behalf of young people and their right to an education all over the world.
What I love as well is that the co-winner of the Nobel Peace Prize this year was an Indian man, Kailash Satyarthi. Even the Nobel Committee emphasized the point: "The Nobel Committee regards it as an important point for a Hindu and a Muslim, an Indian and a Pakistani, to join in a common struggle for education and against extremism," said Thorbjoern Jagland, the head of the Norwegian Nobel Committee.
I couldn't agree more! How insightful of the Nobel Committee to make a choice like this.
I am so honored that I have been asked to photograph Malala and the Malala Fund team in action on several occasions this year.
Above and below are photos of Malala and the Malala Fund in action that I made on two different trips with them this year. She does this work on her school breaks, and she brings her homework with her!
